Loading the Machine
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck
increases the possibility of tip-over and could
cause serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a
machine on a ramp.
• Back the machine up the ramp and walk it
forward down the ramp.
• Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration
while driving the machine on a ramp as
this could cause a loss of control or a
tip-over situation.
• Do not attempt to turn the machine while
on the ramp; you may lose control and
drive off the side.
• Use only a single, full-width ramp; do not
use individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
• If you must use individual ramps, use
enough ramps to create an unbroken ramp
surface wider than the machine.
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
the necessary brakes, lighting, and marking as
required by law. Please carefully read all the safety
instructions.
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle
and connect the safety chains.
2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
3. Lower the ramp.

caster wheels; refer to
