• On Wing Deck Models, raise and lock the outer
wing decks (see Raising and Locking the Outer
Wing Decks section.
• Secure a trailer to the towing vehicle with safety
chains.
WARNING
Driving on the street or roadway without turn
signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow
moving vehicle emblem is dangerous and can
lead to accidents causing personal injury.
Do not drive machine on a public street or
roadway.
Loading the Machine
Use extreme caution when loading or unloading
machines onto a trailer or a truck. Use a full-width
ramp that is wider than the machine for this
procedure. Back up ramps and drive forward down
ramps (Figure 36).
1. Back up ramps
g038222
Important: Do not use narrow individual ramps
for each side of the machine.
Ensure the ramp is long enough so that the angle with
the ground does not exceed 15 degrees (Figure 37).
On flat ground, this requires a ramp to be at least four
times (4X) as long as the height of the trailer or truck
bed to the ground. A steeper angle may cause mower
components to get caught as the unit moves from the
ramp to the trailer or truck. Steeper angles may also
cause the machine to tip or lose control. If loading on
or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so that it
is on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends

up the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle.
