S650TX Mini Skid Steer 

 Transporting the Machine  30-3

Driving onto Trailer

Machine is not intended to be driven on public roads.

Step 1:

Follow 

Starting Procedure, 

page 

22-1.

Step 2:

Prepare machine to drive onto the trailer. Load and unload machine and attachments in a sequence 
that does not require you to back off the trailer without an attachment on the machine. Backing down 
a ramp without an attachment, or with a light attachment, may cause the machine to tip rearward.

Step 3:

Align machine with trailer ramps, with the heavy end on the uphill side.

Step 4:

Position loader arms to avoid having to move the attachment while driving on the ramps:

Before backing onto the ramps, the attachment should be raised so the attachment will not 
contact the ground as the tracks start up the ramps.

Before driving forward onto the ramps, the attachment should be raised just enough to prevent 
the attachment from contacting the ramps.

Step 5:

Slowly move the machine up the trailer ramps. Minimize steering while on the ramps. Steering while 
on the ramps may result in the machine driving off the side of the ramps or cause ramps to move and 
drop off the trailer deck.

Step 6:

Once the machine is off the ramps and onto the trailer deck, lower the attachment as low as possible.

Step 7:

Stop machine when tie-down position is reached. Tie-down position distributes machine weight on the trailer as 
recommended by the trailer manufacturer.

Step 8:

Lower lift arms and adjust tilt until attachment is firmly on trailer deck.

Step 9:

Shut off engine and remove key.
