Snorkel SRT2670 - Manual (Page 66)

■ Transporting
❑ Trailering
SRT’s weigh up to 2560kg (5632lbs)
depending on the model. Loading ramps must
be able to support that weight. Transport
trailers must be able to safely transport that
weight.
SRT brake and drive systems are not
designed for grades over 30%. Drive slowly
and carefully on all slopes and loading ramps.
To safely drive an SRT onto a transport trailer:
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 SRT is being loaded.
3. Set the SRT ground control box for
platform operation.
4. Enter the platform and close the safety
gate (4).
5. Use the platform controls (5) to bring the
SRT 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 SRT 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 SRT 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 SRT straight onto the ramp (9)
and trailer (10).
8. When the SRT is in place on the trailer,
push the Emergency Stop switch (11) in
(OFF) at the platform control box.
9. Chock the SRT wheels.
