TRANSPORTING
TRANSPORTING A UNIT
Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the
machine. Lock brake and block wheels.
Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or
truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes. Be
sure that the trailer or truck has all necessary
lighting and marking as required by law.
Secure a trailer with a safety chain.
CAUTION
This unit does not have proper turn signals,
lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving
vehicle emblem. Driving on a street or
roadway without such equipment is
dangerous and can lead to accidents
causing personal injury. Driving on a street
or roadway without such equipment may
also be a violation of State laws and the
operator may be subject to traffic tickets
and/or fines.
Do Not drive a unit on a public street or
roadway.
WARNING
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases
the possibility of backward tip-over.
Backward tip-over could cause serious
injury or death.

Lock operator platform into the up
position when loading unit.

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 20 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.
LOADING A UNIT
Use extreme caution when loading units on
trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that is
wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is
recommended instead of individual ramps for
each side of the unit. With the platform up, a
full width ramp provides a surface to walk on
behind the unit. If it is not possible to use one
full width ramp, use enough individual ramps to
simulate a full width continuous ramp.
Ramp should be long enough so that the angles
between the ramp and the ground and the ramp
and the trailer or truck do not exceed 20
degrees. A steeper angle may cause mower
deck components to get caught as the unit
moves from ramp to trailer or truck. Steeper
angles may also cause the unit 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 ramp 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
unit 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
unit to tip backward.
