WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the
possibility of tip-over.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Tip-over of the unit could cause serious injury or
death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ 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.
4.4.2 Loading a Unit: Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks.
One full width ramp is required. If it is not possible to use one full width ramp,
use enough individual ramps to simulate a full width continuous ramp.
Ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the
ground and the ramp and the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper angle
may cause mower deck components to get caught as the unit moves from ramp
to trailer or truck. Steeper angles may also cause the unit to tip. If loading on or
near a slope, position the trailer or truck so it is on the down side of the slope
and the ramp extends up the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The
trailer or truck should be as level as possible.
DO NOT attempt to turn the unit while on the ramp, you may lose control and
drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving on a ramp.
