3
1. Visually inspect the alignment of the loading
ramp (1) and the truck or trailer (2). They should
both be on the same straight line.
2. Chock (3) the wheels of the truck or trailer so
it cannot roll away form the loading ramp (1)
while the SR is being loaded.
3. Set the SR base-control panel for platform
operation.
C A U TIO N
An SR has low ground clearance. Look to see
that the transition from the loading ramp to the
trailer is not so sharp that the bottom of the SR
drags. The photo immediately below shows what
to look for.
4. Enter the platform and close the safety
chain(4).
5. Use the platform controls (5) to bring the SR
into the STOWED POSITION at the foot of the
loading ramp (6) with the steering wheels (7)
nearest the ramp.
6. Visually check (from the platform) to be sure
the SR is aligned with the ramp and the ramp is
still aligned with the truck or trailer. All should be
in a straight line.

Death or serious injury can result from losing
control of an SR during loading or unloading.
Always drive up or down a grade with the
SPEED switch set to turtle (slow).
7. Use the joystick controller (8) to slowly drive
the SR straight onto the ramp (9) and trailer (10).
8. When the SR is in place on the trailer, push
the EMERGENCY STOP switch (11) in (OFF) at
the platform-control box.
9. Chock the SR wheels.
