CAUTION
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
This unit does not have proper turn signals, lights,
reflective markings, or a slow moving vehicle emblem.
These items are required to drive on a public street or
roadway.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment
is dangerous and can lead to accidents causing
personal injury.
♦
Driving on a street or roadway without such equipment
may also be a violation of State laws and the operator
may be subject to traffic tickets and/or fines.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Do not drive a unit on a public street or roadway.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦
Loading a unit on a trailer or truck increases the
possibility of backward tip-over.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦
Backward tip-over of the unit could cause serious
injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦
Use extreme caution when operating a unit on a ramp.
♦
Use only a single, full width ramp; DO NOT use
individual ramps for each side of the unit.
♦
If individual ramps must be used, use enough ramps to
create an unbroken ramp surface wider than the unit.
♦
DO NOT exceed a 15
°
angle between ramp and
ground or between ramp and trailer or truck.
♦
Avoid sudden acceleration while driving unit up a ramp
to avoid tipping backward.
♦
Avoid sudden deceleration while backing unit down a
ramp to avoid tipping backward.
4.4.2 Loading a Unit: Use extreme caution when loading units on trailers or trucks.
One full width ramp that is wide enough to extend beyond the rear tires is
recommended instead of individual ramps for each side of the unit. The lower
rear section of the tractor frame extends back between the rear wheels and
serves as a stop for tipping backward. Having a full width ramp provides a
surface for the frame members to contact if the unit starts to tip backward. If it
is not possible to use one full width ramp, use enough individual ramps to
simulate a full width continuous ramp.
