Using The Z Stand - Toro 74272CP 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.
• 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.
