TRANSPORTING
BEFORE LOADING
1. Loading the snow blower on a truck or trailer should be performed on a firm,
level surface.
2. Use a loading ramp that is strong enough to support the combined weight of
the snow blower and the operator:
Weight of snow blower: (Operating weight)
USA model: 573 lbs (260 kg)
Canadian model: 250 kg (551 lbs)
3. The loading ramp must be long enough so
that its slope is 15° (26%) or less.
Recommended ramp lengths are shown in
the following table:
Length of

4. If the truck bed has a low roof or cover, with less than 5 ft (1.5 m) of
headroom, lower the discharge deflector for better clearance, or remove the
chute assembly.
5. Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank. The engine may stall on the
ramp if there is not enough fuel in the tank.
