TRANSPORTING
Before Loading
To move the snow thrower with the engine OFF, pull both steering
control levers against the handlebar to release the transmission and
then push or pull the snow thrower in the desired direction.
1. Loading the snow thrower on a 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 thrower and the operator.

engine may stall on the ramp if there is little fuel in the tank.

Track Models:
Lower the auger housing so the skids rest on the vehicle floor.
Tie the snow thrower down with rope or straps, and block the wheels
or treads. Keep the tie-down rope or straps away from controls,
cables, and the gas assisted damper on track models.
Do not tie with rope or straps stronger than necessary or over-tighten
to prevent snow thrower parts from bending or breaking.
