Loading the snowblower on a trailer should be performed on a firm,
level surface.
Use a loading ramp that is strong enough to support the combined
weight of the snowblower and the operator:
Weight of snowblower: Operating weight
The loading ramp must be long enough so that its slope is 15° (26%)
or less:

If the snowblower is to be transported on a truck having a hood,
check that the distance between the truck bed and hood is 1.5 m (5
ft) or more. Remove the discharge chute if the distance is less than
1.5 m (5 ft).
Before loading, check that there is sufficient fuel in the tank. Engine
may stall on the ramp if there is little fuel in the tank.
