Transporting Machine

CAUTION: Use extra care when loading or unloading the machine into a trailer or truck.

Close fuel shut-off valve, if your machine is equipped.

IMPORTANT: Transporting a machine on a trailer or on a truck bed at high speeds can result in hood or engine cover raising and possibly coming off machine if not secured.

• Position machine on trailer so hood or engine cover opens from rear of trailer to prevent wind from blowing hood or cover open.

• Secure hood or engine cover with existing machine locks or latches.

• Secure hood or engine cover with tie down straps if no locks or latches exist.

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

  2. Back machine onto heavy duty trailer with full-width ramp.

  3. Stop engine and lock park brake.

  4. Remove key.

  5. Turn fuel shut off to off position, if your machine is equipped.
