Transporting Machine on a Trailer

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

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

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 a level surface.

  2. Raise mower deck to the transport position.

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

  4. Stop engine and lock park brake.

  5. Lower the mower deck completely.

  6. Remove key.

  7. Turn fuel shutoff valve to the off position.
