depending on the model. Loading ramps
must be able to support that weight.
Transport trailers must be able to safely
transport that weight.
SR brake and drive systems are not
designed for grades over 35%. Drive slowly
and carefully on all slopes and loading
ramps.
To safely drive an SR onto a trans port trailer:
1. Visually inspect the alignment of the loading
ramp and the truck or trailer. They should
both be on the same straight line.
2. Set the SR ground control box for platform
operation.
Figure 10.5
3. Enter the platform and close the safety gate
 (see Figure 10.5).
4. Use the platform controls € (see Figure
10.5) to bring the SR into the STOWED
POSITION at the foot of the loading ramp
with the steering wheels nearest the ramp.
5. 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).
