Operation
truck. Steeper angles may also cause the machine to
tip backward. If loading on or near a slope, position
the trailer or truck so it is on the down side of the
slope and the ramps extends up the slope. This will
minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should
be as level as possible.
Important:
Do Not attempt to turn the machine
while on the ramp, you may lose control and
drive off the side.
Avoid sudden acceleration when driving up a ramp
and sudden deceleration when backing down a
ramp. Both maneuvers can cause the machine to tip
backward.
WARNING
Loading a machine on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over. Backward
tip-over could cause serious injury or death.
•
Use extreme caution when operating a
machine on a ramp.
•
Use only a single, full width ramp; Do Not use
individual ramps for each side of the machine.
•
If individual ramps must be used, use enough
ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface
wider than the machine.
•
Avoid sudden acceleration while driving
machine up a ramp to avoid tipping backward.
•
Avoid sudden deceleration while backing
machine down a ramp to avoid tipping
backward.
