6.12 Loading and Unloading

Use extreme caution when loading or unloading units on/off trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that
extends beyond the rear tires is recommended rather than individual ramps for each side of the unit. The
ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the trailer or truck does not exceed 15
degrees. A steeper angle may cause the mower deck components to get caught as the unit moves from ramp
to trailer or truck. Always put the deck in the transport (up & locked) position when loading or unloading.
Never attempt to turn the mower around on the ramp. Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and
sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp.
