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 backward. 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 up a ramp and sudden deceleration when
backing down a ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward.
