Using a ramp
Use extreme caution when loading and unloading a unit with a ramp.
Use only a single, full width ramp; do not use individual ramps for each side of the unit. Having a full width ramp provides a surface for the tractor frame to contact if the unit starts to tip backwards. It also reduces the risk of a wheel going off and the machine tipping over.
Do not exceed a 15 degree angle between the ramp and the ground or between the ramp and the trailer or truck.
When on a ramp avoid sudden acceleration
Safety and Instruction Decals
Specific safety warning decals are located on the equipment near the immediate areas of potential hazards. These decals should not be removed or obliterated. Replace them if they become non- readable.
The following illustrations show the various safety decals that are located on the machine. A brief expla- nation, for those requiring one, is shown to help the operator understand the meanings of these decals.
