Operation
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
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 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
tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides
a surface for the frame members to contact if the
unit starts to tip backward. 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
backward. 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 up a ramp
and sudden deceleration when backing down a ramp.
Both maneuvers can cause the unit to tip backward.
