Using The Z Stand® (Models 74965Cp And 74967Cp Only) - Toro 74955CP Operator's Manual

Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over and could
cause serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a unit
on a ramp.
• Ensure the ROPS is in the up position
while using the seat belt when loading the
machine. Ensure the ROPS will clear the
top of an enclosed trailer.
• 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 degree 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.
