Important:
Do not use narrow individual ramps for
each side of the machine.
Ensure the ramp is long enough so that the angle with the
ground does not exceed 15 degrees (
). On flat
ground, this requires a ramp to be at least 4 times as long as
the height of the trailer or truck bed to the ground. A steeper
angle may cause mower components to get caught as the unit
moves from the ramp to the trailer or truck. Steeper angles
may also cause the machine to tip or lose control. If loading
on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so that it is
on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the
slope. This will minimize the ramp angle.
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 15-degree angle between the
ramp and the ground or between the ramp and
the trailer or truck.
•
Ensure the length of ramp is at least 4 times as
long as the height of the trailer or truck bed to
the ground. This will ensure that ramp angle
does not exceed 15 degrees on flat ground.
•
Back up ramps and drive forward down ramps.
•
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.
