Safety

  • The TransPro 200 trailer is intended for use with walk-behind Greensmaster machines only. Towing incompatible products can result in damage to the trailer and/or injury to the operator. Refer to Compatible Machines for a complete list of compatible machines.

  • Use only a vehicle with the proper tow rating. The TransPro 200 trailer and 2 greens mowers weigh approximately 1,150 lb (522 kg). Ensure that the tow vehicle has adequate braking and handling capacity by checking the recommendations of the vehicle manufacturer

  • Ensure that the trailer is properly connected to the tow vehicle before loading or unloading the greens mowers to prevent sudden unintended tongue movement or flip-up. The trailer tongue should be parallel to the ground when you align it with the tow vehicle hitch.

  • The trailer adds extra towing weight to the vehicle. Drive the vehicle safely.

    • Do not drive the machine on highways or public roads.

    • Always slow the tow vehicle when approaching and while making a turn.

    • Always slow the tow vehicle when driving in unfamiliar areas or over rough terrain.

    • Always slow the tow vehicle when changing the direction of travel or preparing to stop.

    • Always slow the tow vehicle when turning or driving on slopes.

    • Do not make sudden or sharp turns. Do not suddenly change direction of travel on an incline, ramp, grade, slope, or similar surface.

    • The maximum towing speed is 15 mph (24 km/h). Always adjust the tow-vehicle speed to allow for existing ground conditions, such as wet slick surfaces, loose sand or gravel and/or low visibility conditions, such as dim or bright lighting, fog, mist, or rain.

    • Be especially careful when driving a heavily loaded vehicle down an incline or slope. Drive the vehicle up and down the face of the slopes, inclines, or grades whenever possible. Do not drive across the face of a slope if at all possible. There is a risk of upsetting the vehicle, which can result in serious injury or death.

  • Before backing up, look behind you and ensure that it is clear of people and objects. Back up slowly and watch the trailer movement closely.

  • Use extreme caution and slow speed when backing up the trailer and tow vehicle.

  • Watch out for traffic when near or crossing roads. Always yield the right of way to pedestrians and other vehicles.

  • If the trailer begins to vibrate abnormally, stop the tow vehicle immediately. Shut off the tow-vehicle engine. Repair all damage before towing.

  • Before servicing or making any adjustments to the trailer, do the following:

    • Stop the tow vehicle and engage the parking brake.

    • Shut off the tow-vehicle engine and remove the key.

  • While the trailer is disconnected from tow vehicle:

    • Store the trailer on level ground.

    • Chock the wheels to prevent the trailer from moving.

  • Keep all fasteners tightened securely. Replace any parts removed when servicing or making adjustments.

    1. Latch pin (right side shown)

  3. Remove the grass baskets from the greens mower.

    Note: You can store the grass baskets in the tow vehicle.

  4. Refer to the appropriate instruction for an equipped ramp or rail kit as follows:

    • Rail Kit: Install the rail wheels onto the hex shafts (Figure 29).

      Note: The rail-wheel clip slots are facing outwards for all walk-behind Greensmaster machines.

      2. Clip
      3. Rail wheel

    • Wheel Kit: Install the transport wheels onto the hex shafts; refer to your traction unit Operator’s Manual.

Loading a Machine on the Trailer

  1. Use the flat ramps or rails to slowly drive the machine onto the trailer until the front roller seats within the roller mount (Figure 30).

    Note: When you load a machine onto the trailer for the first time, the roller-mount fasteners should be loose and allow the roller mount to slide forward.

  2. Shut off the machine and engage the parking brake.

  3. If you are hauling 2 machines, repeat steps 1 and 2 for the second machine. Ensure that the front roller seats within the roller mount.

  4. Raise the ramps and engage the latch pins (Figure 30).

    • Wheel Kit equipped: When you raise the ramps, the latch pins automatically engage the locking bracket and keep the ramps in the raised position.

    • Rail Kit equipped: Lift the latch pins, raise the ramps, and release the latch pins to keep the ramps in the raised position.

  5. If you are loading the trailer for the first time, perform the following steps to secure the machines in-place:

    1. With the ramps locked in the raised position, move the rear machine towards the back of the trailer until the transport wheels or rail wheels contact the ramp.

    2. Slide back the rear roller mount (Figure 31) until it contacts the rear-machine front roller.

      1. Front roller mount
      2. Rear roller mount

    3. Ensure that the front roller is completely seated underneath the roller mount and tighten the flange nuts that secure the roller mount in place; refer to Checking the Torque of the Roller-Mount Fasteners.

    4. Move the front machine back until the transport wheels or rail wheels contact the raised wheel stops.

    5. Slide back the front roller mount (Figure 31) until it contacts the front-machine front roller.

    If you load different machines or machine with different configurations (e.g., a machine with an equipped groomer-drive kit), perform these steps to ensure that the machine is properly secured on the trailer.
