Loading a unit onto a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip–over and could
cause serious injury or death.
•
Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a
ramp.
•
Use only a single, full width ramp; DO NOT use
individual ramps for each side of the unit.
•
If individual ramps must be used, use enough
ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface
wider than the unit.
•
Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between ramp
and ground or between ramp and trailer or
truck.
•
Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit up
a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
•
Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit
down a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
