4.3 TRANSPORTING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
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.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
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 to transport the machine. Engage park brakes and
block wheels. Securely fasten the machine to the trailer with straps, chains,

Use a safety chain and be sure that the trailer has all necessary lighting and
marking as required by law.
