TRANSPORTING THE LOADER ON A TRAILER
Loading And Unloading
AVOID SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH

needed to support the weight of the machine when
loading onto a transport vehicle. Wood ramps can
break and cause personal injury.

Be sure the transport and towing vehicles are of
adequate size and capacity for weight of loader. (See
Performance on Page 197.)

prevent the front end of the trailer from raising up.
