Loading The Machine - Toro TimeCutter HD XS4850 Operator's Manual

Loading the Machine

Use extreme caution when loading or unloading machines
onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width ramp that is wider
than the machine for this procedure. Back the machine up the
ramp and drive it forward down the ramp
1. Back the machine up the
ramp.
Important: Do not use narrow individual ramps for
each side of the machine.
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of tip-over and could cause serious
injury or death (Figure
• Use extreme caution when operating a machine
on a ramp.
• Use only a full-width ramp; do not use individual
ramps for each side of the machine.
• 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. This ensures that the ramp angle
does not exceed 15 degrees on flat ground.
• Back up ramps and drive forward down ramps.
• 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.
