Transporting Machine on Trailer

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

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

CAUTION: 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.
