Transporting a Unit

Important: Do Not transport FrontRunner tractor without an approved Exmark front mount attachment.

Use a heavy-duty trailer or truck to transport the machine. Lock brake and block wheels. Securely fasten the machine to the trailer or truck with straps, chains, cable, or ropes. Be sure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting and marking as required by law. Secure a trailer with a safety chain.

CAUTION

This unit does not have proper turn signals, lights, reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem. Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing personal injury. Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment may also be a violation of State laws and the operator may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.

Do Not drive a unit on a public street or roadway.

WARNING

Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the possibility of tip-over. Tip-over could cause serious injury or death.

Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp.

Use only a single, full width ramp; Do Not use individual ramps for each side of the unit.

If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the unit.

Do Not exceed a 15° angle between ramp and ground or between ramp and trailer or truck.

Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit on a ramp.

Loading a Unit

Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp is required. If it is not possible to use one full width ramp, use enough individual ramps to simulate a full width continuous ramp.

Ramp should be long enough so that the angles between the ramp and the ground and the ramp and the trailer or truck do not exceed 15°. A steeper angle may cause mower deck components to get caught as the unit moves from ramp to trailer or truck. Steeper angles may also cause the unit to tip. If loading on or near a slope, position the trailer or truck so it is on the down side of the slope and the ramp extends up the slope. This will minimize the ramp angle. The trailer or truck should be as level as possible.

Important: Do Not attempt to turn the unit while on the ramp, you may lose control and drive off the side.

Avoid sudden acceleration when driving on a ramp.
