Transporting a Unit
Important: Do Not transport FrontRunner
tractor without an approved Exmark front mount
attachment.
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Lock brake and block wheels. Securely
fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Be sure that the trailer or truck
has all necessary lighting and marking as required by

This unit does not have proper turn
signals, lights, reective markings, or a
slow moving vehicle emblem. Driving on a
street or roadway without such equipment
is dangerous and can lead to accidents
causing personal injury. Driving on a street
or roadway without such equipment may also
be a violation of State laws and the operator
may be subject to trafc tickets and/or nes.
Do Not drive a unit on a public street or
roadway.
WARNING
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of tip-over. Tip-over could
cause serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a
unit on a ramp.
• Use only a single, full width ramp; Do
Not use individual ramps for each side
of the unit.
• If individual ramps must be used, use
enough ramps to create an unbroken
ramp surface wider than the unit.
• Do Not exceed a 15° angle between ramp
and ground or between ramp and trailer
or truck.
• Avoid sudden acceleration while driving
unit on a ramp.
