Transporting Machine on Trailer

NOTE: Trailer capacity must exceed combined machine weight and attachment weight. (See Specifications section in operator’s manual).

Be sure that trailer has all the necessary lights and signs required by law.

CAUTION: Avoid injury! Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck. Machine wheels can go off the ramp or trailer, causing the machine to tip over.

• To load, back slowly and in a straight line. Keep wheels away from drop-offs and edges.

• Do not use two separate loading ramps. Use a full width loading ramp at least 30 cm (12 in.) wider than machine to keep caster wheels from going off the ramp edge.

• Use a trailer with sides.

  1. Park trailer on level surface.

  2. Raise mower deck before driving machine onto trailer.
