Hauling the Machine (continued)
Loading the Machine
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tip-over and
could cause serious injury or death.
• Use extreme caution when operating a machine on a ramp.
• Back the machine up the ramp and drive it forward down the ramp.
• Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration while driving the machine on a ramp as
this could cause a loss of control or a tip-over situation.
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle and connect the safety chains.
2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
3. Lower the ramp, ensuring that the angle between the ramp and the ground does not
exceed 15 degrees.
