Transporting The Machine - Toro Z Master Revolution Series Operator's Manual

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 roll bar is in the up position
and use the seat belt when loading or
unloading the machine. Ensure that the roll
bar will clear the top of an enclosed trailer.
• Do not exceed a 15-degree angle between
the ramp and the ground or between the
ramp and the trailer or truck.
• 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 drive 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.
