Transporting

Transporting a Unit
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Lock brake and block wheels. Securely
fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with straps,
chains, cable, or ropes. Be sure that the trailer or truck
has all necessary lighting and marking as required by
law. Secure a trailer with a safety chain.

CAUTION
This unit does not have proper turn
signals, lights, reflective markings, or a
slow moving vehicle emblem. Driving on a
street or roadway without such equipment
is dangerous and can lead to accidents
causing personal injury. Driving on a street
or roadway without such equipment may also
be a violation of State laws and the operator
may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.
Do Not drive a unit on a public street or
roadway.
WARNING
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of tip-over. Tip-over 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° angle between ramp
and ground or between ramp and trailer
or truck.
• Avoid sudden acceleration while driving
unit on a ramp.
Loading a Unit
If the unit is to be driven onto a truck or trailer
with the hopper full, always back the unit up the
ramp. This will reduce the chance of rearward
tip up. Use extreme caution when loading units
on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that is
wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is
recommended instead of individual ramps for each
side of the unit. The lower rear section of the tractor
frame extends back between the rear wheels and
serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having a full
width ramp provides a surface for the frame members
to contact if the unit starts to tip backward. If it is
