may also be a violation of State laws and the operator
may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.

Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the

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 up a ramp
to avoid tipping backward.
Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit down a
ramp to avoid tipping backward.
