of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This will
minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as
level as possible.
Important
Do Not attempt to turn the unit while on
the ramp; you may lose control and drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp and
sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp. Both
maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward.
Warning
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 degrees 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.
