Warning
Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip–over and could
cause serious injury or death.
Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a
ramp.
Use only a single, full width ramp; DO NOT use
individual ramps for each side of the unit.
If individual ramps must be used, use enough
ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface
wider than the unit.
Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between ramp
and ground or between ramp and trailer or
truck.
Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit up
a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit
down a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
