If machine is equipped with a tow hitch, use extreme
caution when towing. Never allow children or others in

cause loss of traction and loss of control.
Follow the manufacturer's recommendation for weight
limits for towed equipment. Do not tow near ditches,

SAFETY
WARNING!
Use extreme caution when loading the
machine into a truck or trailer using
ramps. There is the possibility of serious
injury or death if the machine falls off the
ramps.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
The parking brake is not sufficient to lock the
machine in place during transport. Ensure that
the machine is well fastened to the transport
vehicle. Always reverse the machine onto the
transport vehicle to avoid tipping it over.
WARNING!
Escaping hydraulic oil under pressure
can have sufficient force to penetrate
the skin, causing serious injury. If
injured by escaping fluid, see a doctor at
once. Serious infection or reaction can
develop if proper medical treatment is not
administered immediately.
