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.

loading and unloading.

Use a heavy duty trailer to transport the machine. Engage neutral lock latches
and park brake, then block wheels. 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.

Do not rely solely on parking brake to hold machine on trailer.
