Selecting a Trailer
WARNING
Loading a machine onto a trailer or truck
increases the possibility of tip-over and could
cause serious injury or death (
Figure 27 ).
• Use only a full-width ramp; do not use
individual ramps for each side of the
machine.
• Ensure that the length of ramp is at least 4
times as long as the height of the trailer or
truck bed to the ground. This ensures that
ramp angle does not exceed 15 degrees on
flat ground.

Loading the Machine
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.
• Load and unload the machine with the
heavy end up the ramp.
• 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.
1. If using a trailer, connect it to the towing vehicle
and connect the safety chains.
2. If applicable, connect the trailer brakes.
3. Lower the ramp ( Figure 27 ).
4. Lower the loader arms.
5. Load the machine onto the trailer with the heavy
end up the ramp, carrying loads low (
Figure 28 ).
•
If the machine has a full load-carrying
attachment (e.g., bucket or adjustable forks)
or a non-load-carrying attachment (e.g.,
stump grinder), drive the machine forward
up the ramp.
•
If the machine has an empty load-carrying
attachment or no attachment, back the
machine up the ramp.

6. Lower the loader arms all the way down.
7. Shut off the engine, remove the key, and engage
the parking brake.
8. Use the metal tie-down loops on the machine
to securely fasten the machine to the trailer or
truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes (
Figure
29 ). Refer to local regulations for tie-down
requirements.
