Towing The Machine - Toro LT3340 Operator's Manual

WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of tipping over and could cause
serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a machine
on a ramp.
• Use the ROPS (in up position) while using the
seat belt when loading the machine. Ensure that
the ROPS clears the top of an enclosed trailer.
• Use only a single, full-width ramp.
• If individual ramps must be used, use enough
ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider
than the machine.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between the
ramp and the ground or between the ramp and
the trailer or truck.
• Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration while
driving the machine up or down a ramp.
