WARNING
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.
• Use only a full-width ramp; do not use individual
ramps for each side of the machine.
• Do not exceed a 17-degree angle between the
ramp and the ground or between the ramp and
the trailer or truck.
• Ensure that the length of ramp is at least 4 times
as long as the height of the trailer or truck bed to
the ground. This ensures that ramp angle does
not exceed 17 degrees on flat ground.
• Load and unload the machine with the heavy
end up 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.
