n Transporting
q Trailering
SRs weigh up to 3620kg (7964lbs) depending
on the model. Loading ramps must be able to
support that weight. Transport trailers must be
able to safely transport that weight.
SR brake and drive systems are not designed
for grades over 35%. Drive slowly and carefully
on all slopes and loading ramps.
To safely drive an SR onto a trans port trailer:
1. Visually inspect the alignment of the loading
ramp and the truck or trailer. They should
both be on the same straight line.
2. Set the SR ground control box for platform
operation.
3. Enter the platform and close the safety gate.
4. Use the platform controls to bring the SR into
the STOWED POSITION at the foot of the
loading ramp with the steering wheels
nearest the ramp.
5. Visually check (from the platform) to be sure
the SR is aligned with the ramp and the ramp
is still aligned with the truck or trailer. All
should be in a straight line.
Death or serious injury can result from losing
control of an SR during loading or unloading.
Always drive up or down a grade with the Speed
switch set to turtle (slow).
