Transporting the Machine

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Use a full-width ramp. 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. Knowing this information
could help you or bystanders avoid injury. Refer
to your local ordinances for trailer and tie-down
requirements.
WARNING
Driving on the street or roadway without

turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a
slow-moving-vehicle emblem is dangerous and
can lead to accidents, causing personal injury.
Do not drive the machine on a public street or
roadway.
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck
increases the possibility of backward tip-over and
could cause serious injury or death.
• Use only full-width ramps; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the machine.
• Ensure that the length of ramp is at least 4
times as long as the height of the trailer or
truck bed to the ground.
• 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.
