4.4 TRANSPORTING
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Loading the mower onto a trailer without strong
enough or properly supported ramps could be
dangerous.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ The ramps could collapse causing the unit to fall,
which could cause injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Use proper ramps that are secured to the truck or
trailer.
♦ Keep feet and legs out from under the unit when
loading and unloading.
♦ If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Be sure fuel shut-off valve is closed.
Use a heavy duty trailer to transport the machine. Engage the park brakes and
block wheels. After the wheels have been properly blocked, securely fasten the
machine to the trailer with straps, chains, cables or ropes. Be sure that the trailer
has all necessary lighting and marking as required by law and use a safety chain.
NOTE: When transporting machine, be sure to engage the park brakes.
Failure to do so can result in damage and/or premature wear to
drive train.
Do not rely solely on the parking brake to hold machine on trailer.
