Transporting Safety Tips
General
When towing a machine on a trailer, or a machine
equipped with "portability or transport wheels," always
use a hauling vehicle of suffi cient weight, horsepower
and braking capacity to maintain proper control.
Never attempt to tow a trailer or machine if the hitching
devices are of insuffi cient or questionable capacity,
improperly matched in size or shape, or positioned at
improper heights.

Loading and Unloading Safely
Always wear your seat belt/operator restraint when
loading or unloading your machine from a transport
device, such as a fl atbed truck.
When transporting a compactor, follow the
manufacturer's recommended loading and unloading
procedures.
Extreme care should be exercised when loading or
unloading a walk-behind roller. It is generally best to
stand behind and off to one side rather than directly
behind a machine moving up or down a ramp.
Several precautions are applicable to all machines:
• Never load or unload a machine by yourself.
• Keep bystanders away.
• Load and unload on a level surface.
• Maintain proper visibility by loading or unloading
in well-lit areas, and away from other vehicles,
equipment or buildings.
• Block transport vehicle with wheel chocks so it
cannot move.
• Ensure trailer bed and ramps are in good condition.
• Use ramps of adequate size and strength, with a low
angle and proper height.
When towing a machine equipped with portability or
transport wheels, always follow the manufacturer's
towing instructions.
Before Towing
When connecting a trailer to a hauling vehicle, block
under the trailer's tongue before attempting to make the
connection. Never attempt to lift heavy tongues or move
heavy trailers by hand. Never get any part of your body
under the tongues when hitching or unhitching.
Make sure the hitch pin is of the proper size and
securely locked in place before towing.
If the roller is designed to hang from the tailgate of a
vehicle when being transported, be certain the hook
brackets meet the roller manufacturer's specifi cations.
Use tow bars between the hauling vehicle and trailer
or towed machine. Be sure the chains are properly and
securely connected at both ends. Cross the chains under
the tongues when connecting to the hauling vehicle.
Make sure electrical and other connections between
the hauling vehicle and trailer or towed machine are
properly and securely made. After connecting, check
the lights for proper operation. If the towed trailer or
