Using a ramp
▲
Use extreme caution when loading and unloading a unit with a ramp.
▲
Use only a single, full width ramp; do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit. Having a full
width ramp provides a surface for the tractor frame to contact if the unit starts to tip backwards. It also
reduces the risk of a wheel going off and the machine tipping over.
▲
Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the
trailer or truck.
▲
When on a ramp avoid sudden acceleration
