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.
• Use only a full-width ramp; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between
the ramp and the ground or between the
ramp and the trailer or truck.
• Ensure the length of ramp is at least four
times (4X) as long as the height of the
trailer or truck bed to the ground. This will
ensure that ramp angle does not exceed 15
degrees on flat ground.
• Back up ramps and drive forward down
ramps.
• 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.
