Transporting Machine on a Trailer

Use a heavy-duty trailer to transport your machine. Trailer must have signs and lights required by law.

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

  1. 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.

    Park trailer on level surface.

  2. Raise mower deck to the transport position.
