Transporting a Unit 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.

Loading a Unit WARNING

Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the possibility of backward tip-over. Backward 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 up a ramp to avoid tipping backward.

Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit down a ramp to avoid tipping backward.

Be sure that the trailer or truck has all necessary lighting and marking as required by law. Secure a trailer with a safety chain.

Loading a Unit

Do Not transport the unit with the hopper full. Empty the hopper before attempting to load unit on trailer or truck. This will reduce the chance of rearward tip up. Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks. One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for
