Safety

The TransPro 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.
Use only a vehicle with the proper tow rating. The TransPro 80 trailer and a greens mower weighs approximately 525 lb (238 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 the 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.

Safety and Instructional Decals

Safety decals and instructions are easily visible to the operator and are located near any area of potential danger. Replace any decal that is damaged or missing.

Installation

Assembling the Trailer

Parts needed for this procedure:

Tongue assembly	1
Frame assembly	1
Clevis pin	1
Washer (5/8 inch)	2
Cotter pin	2
Bolt (3/8 x 3-1/2 inches)	4

Installing the Wheel Hubs and the Rail Ramp Kit or the Flat Ramp Kit

Refer to Figure 2 to determine the frame mounting holes that you should use to fit the width of your greensmower.

Important: If your Greensmaster machine has a groomer attached, it will be mounted differently than above; refer to the following list:
- Greensmaster 1000/2000 or 2100 with groomer: The left side should be set to position #3 and the right side should be set to #1.
- Greensmaster 1800/eFlex 1800 with groomer: The left side should be set to position #2 and the right side should be set to #3.

Operation

Securing the Trailer to the Tow Vehicle

Lift up the tongue handle (Figure 5).

Note: Lifting the handle retracts the slide assembly.

Ensure that the slide assembly is centered below the tongue pin.

Loading the Trailer

Preparing the Load the Trailer

Chock the trailer wheels.
While maintaining control of the trailer bed and holding onto the handle, press down on the latch assembly and the lift handle (Figure 7). Lower the trailer bed to the ground.

Use the flat ramps or rails to slowly drive the machine onto the trailer until the front roller is seated within the roller mount and the rail or transport wheels are seated within the wheel guides.

Important: When you load a machine onto the trailer for the first time, open the roller-mount latches to allow the roller mount to move. Close the latches to secure the roller mount in place.If you load a machine with different configurations (e.g., a machine with an equipped groomer-drive kit), perform this step to ensure that the machine is properly secured on the trailer.
Shut off the machine and engage the parking brake.
Close the retention rods on both sides of the trailer (Figure 10).
