Transporting

Transporting a Unit

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Lock brake and block wheels. Securely
fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Be sure that the trailer or truck
has all necessary lighting and marking as required by
law. Secure a trailer with a safety chain.

CAUTION

This unit does not have proper turn signals,
lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving
vehicle emblem. Driving on a street or roadway
without such equipment is dangerous and
can lead to accidents causing personal injury.
Driving on a street or roadway without such
equipment may also be a violation of State laws
and the operator may be subject to traffic tickets
and/or fines.

Do Not drive a unit on a public street or roadway.

WARNING

Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over. Backward
tip-over could cause serious injury or death.

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.

Loading a Unit

Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or
trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to
extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead
of individual ramps for each side of the unit. The
lower rear section of the tractor frame extends back
between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for
