Transporting

Transporting a Unit

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 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.

Loading a Unit

One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit. The lower rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and serves as a stop for
