WARNING
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over. Backward
tip-over could cause serious injury or death.
 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 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.
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. If it is not possible to use
one full width ramp, use enough individual ramps
to simulate a full width continuous ramp.
Ramp should be long enough so that the angles
between the ramp and the ground and the ramp
and the trailer or truck do not exceed 15 degrees.
A steeper angle may cause aerator components to
get caught as the unit moves from ramp to trailer
or truck. Steeper angles may also cause the unit to
tip backward. If loading on or near a slope,
position the trailer or truck so it is on the down
side of the slope and the ramp extends up the
slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The
trailer or truck should be as level as possible.
Important: Do Not attempt to turn the unit
while on the ramp, you may lose control and
drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a
ramp and sudden deceleration when backing
down a ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the unit
to tip backward.
