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.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
♦ Gasoline vapor can collect inside enclosed trailers and
may be ignited by electrical sparks or hot
engine/exhaust components.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
♦ Explosion and fire may occur, resulting in property
damage, personal injury and/or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
♦ Provide adequate ventilation of any enclosed trailer to
prevent build up of gasoline vapors, especially at floor
level.
♦ Never refuel equipment inside an enclosed trailer.
♦ Be sure all fuel tanks and gasoline storage containers
have proper caps installed to prevent spillage and
minimize vapor escaping into the trailer.
♦ Do not place any equipment that is leaking gasoline in
an enclosed trailer.
