increases the possibility of tip-over and could
cause serious injury or death.

• Back the machine up the ramp and walk 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.

and connect the safety chains.

lights.
