Loading the Machine

Use extreme caution when loading or the unloading
machine 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 (Figure
1. Back the machine up the
ramp.
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck
increases the possibility of tip-over and could
cause serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a
machine on a ramp.
• Ensure that the roll bar is in the up position
and use the seat belt when loading or
unloading the machine. Ensure that the roll
bar will clear the top of an enclosed trailer.
• 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.
