Your failure to follow this warning will cause death, serious injury, or
permanent disability to you or others.
VENTILATION
The cargo area has a flow through ventilation system consisting of roof and
floor vent. The roof and floor vent can opened and closed manually. A high
volume power vent for ventilating the roomis also installed.
LOADING TECHNIQUE
RAMP POSITIONING
The ramp angle from the trailer floor to the ground affects the risk when loading/
unloading cargo. If the ramp angle is reduced, and all other conditions remain
the same, risk is reduced. Always try to reduce the loading ramp angle – the
shallower the ramp angle, the easier cargo loading will be. Position the trailer to
take advantage of any terrain features that will help reduce the ramp angle. In
all cases, be sure the ends of the ramp can be fully supported.
Always position the loading ramp so the ends in contact with the ground are
level or at the same height. An uneven ramp may cause the cargo to tip over
sideways during loading/unloading.
LOADING UNDER POWER
WARNING:
Do not load motorized cargo (motorcycles, ATVs,
ect.) by riding the vehicle up a ramp. Loss of control could cause serious
personal injury.
Motorized cargo should be walked up the ramp. When preparing to load the ve-
hicle into the trailer, the operator’s hands should be positioned on the controls
so as to keep the vehicle in control during loading.
1. Shift into lowest gear before ascending ramps.
2. Align wheels with ramps both loading and unloading.
3. Approach straight on, not on an angle. If you are off to one side and the
ground is uneven where the ramp touches the ground, an unbalanced situation
can occur.
4. The operator should apply throttle smoothly and climb the ramp at low
speed. Too much or sudden increases in throttle will cause the vehicle to be
harder to control and may cause the vehicle to impact the front of the trailer
cargo area or over-turn.
