4.4.2
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the
possibility of backward tip-over.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Backward tip-over of the unit could cause serious
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ 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° 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.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Gasoline vapor can collect inside enclosed trailers and
may be ignited by electrical sparks or hot
engine/exhaust components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Explosion and fire may occur, resulting in property
damage, personal injury and/or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Provide adequate ventilation of any enclosed trailer to
prevent build up of gasoline vapors, especially at floor
level.
♦ Refuel only outdoors, never inside an enclosed trailer.
♦ Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage containers
have proper caps installed to prevent spillage and
minimize vapor escaping into the trailer.
♦ Do not place any equipment that is leaking gasoline in
an enclosed trailer.
Loading a Unit: Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks.
One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is
recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit. The lower
rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and
serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides a
surface for the frame members to contact if the unit starts to tip backward. If it
is not possible to use one full width ramp, use enough individual ramps to
simulate a full width continuous ramp.
