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.
