TRANSPORTING BY ROAD

When transporting the machine on public roads, be sure to
first be aware of and then, follow all local regulations.
1. Before transporting the machine on a trailer, check
the width, height, length, and weight of the trailer with
the machine loaded.
2. Investigate the conditions of the route to be traveled,
such as dimensional limits, weight limits, and traffic
regulations, beforehand.
In some cases, disassemble the machine to bring it
within dimensional limits, or weight limits of local rules
and regulations.

TRAILER LOADING/UNLOADING

Always load and unload the machine on a firm level sur-
face.
WARNING: Be sure to use a loading dock or a
ramp when loading/unloading the machine.
Ramp/ Loading Dock
1. Thoroughly clean the ramp and flatbed. Dirty flatbed
ramps contaminated with oil, mud, or ice can be
slippery and dangerous.
2. Wedge the trailer wheels with blocks so that the trailer
doesn't move.
3. Ramps must be sufficient in length, width, and
strength. Secure the ramp with an incline of less than
15 degrees.
4. Loading docks must be sufficient in length, width, and
strength. The incline of the loading docks must be
less than 15 degrees.
5. When loading/unloading the machine on a trailer, be
careful not to allow the blade to come in contact with
the ramps or loading docks.
