Transporting
Transporting the Machine
WARNING
Loading the mower onto a trailer without strong
enough or properly supported ramps could be
dangerous. The ramps could collapse causing
the unit to fall, which could cause injury.
• Use proper ramps that are secured to the
truck or trailer.
• Keep feet and legs out from under the unit
when loading and unloading.
• If necessary, use assistance when loading.
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Ensure that the trailer or truck has all
necessary lighting and marking as required by law.
Thoroughly read all of the safety instructions.
Knowing this information could help you, your
family, pets, or bystanders avoid injury.
To transport the machine:
• Use full width ramps when loading the machine.
• Be sure the fuel shut-off valve is closed.
• Engage neutral lock latches and park brake, then
block the wheels. Do Not rely solely on the
parking brake to hold the machine on the trailer.
• Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck
with straps, chains, cable, or ropes. If possible,
both front and rear straps should be directed
down and outward from the machine.
• Secure a trailer to the towing vehicle with safety
chains.
