Maintenance - Exmark Ultra Vac Frontrunner Operator's Manual

3.5.2 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. Use extreme caution when
loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp is required. If it is not
possible to use one full width ramp, use enough individual ramps to simulate a full
width continuous ramp.
Ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the ground
and the ramp and the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper angle may
cause mower deck components to get caught as the unit moves from ramp to
trailer or truck. Steeper angles may also cause the unit to tip backward. If loading
on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so it is on the down side 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.
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.
