LOADING AND UNLOADING
‡ Loading and unloading the machine always involves potential hazards. EXTREME CAUTION
SHOULD BE USED.
When loading or unloading the machine, run the engine at low idling and travel at low speed.
‡ Perform loading and unloading on firm, level ground only. Maintain a safe distance from the edge
of a road.
‡ ALWAYS block the wheels of the hauling vehicle and place blocks under both ramps before
loading and unloading.
‡ ALWAYS use ramps of adequate strength. Be sure the ramps are wide and long enough to provide
a safe loading slope.
‡ Be sure that the ramps are securely positioned and fastened, and that the two sides are at the same
level as one another.
‡ Be sure the ramp surface is clean and free of grease, oil, ice and loose materials. Remove dirt from
the machine tires.
‡ NEVER correct your steering on the ramps. If necessary, drive away from the ramps and climb
again.
‡ After loading, block the machine tires and secure the machine with tie-downs.
