OPERATING THE MACHINE
Keep the bucket in carry position when roading the machine and take care not to actuate
accidentally the levers.
Maintain clear vision of all work and travel areas. Keep windows and mirrors clean and repaired.
Look in the intended travel direction to be sure the personnel and allied equipment do not interfere
with the machine's work pattern. Do not operate if exposed personnel enter the immediate work
area.
When traveling fast or downhill never apply the brake with disengaging the drive as this shifts the
transmission into neutral (N). The machine could go out of control or the power train could be
damaged when the pedal is released and the transmission is shifted into gear again.
Do not drive the machine without checking the brakes for correct operation.
Avoid sidehill travel whenever possible. Drive straight up and down the hill. If the machine starts
slipping sideways, turn downhill immediately, and lower the bucket.
Do not overspeed the engine. Excessive speeds can be hazardous and harmful to the power train.
Select the proper gear before starting downhill. Control the speed with the brakes.
Avoid crossing obstacles such as ridges, curbs, logs, rocks, and railroad tracks. If you cannot avoid
them, reduce speed and cross at an angle.
Never use the bucket as a brake except in an emergency.
Do not adjust the seat while the machine is moving because a loss of control may result. Stop the
machine, apply the parking brake and then adjust the seat.
Never allow anyone to stand on the ladder when the bucket is raised or the machine is moving.
Carry the bucket low for maximum visibility and stability when traveling.
Use extra caution when moving with the bucket raised. The stability is reduced as the bucket is
raised.
Know the traffic flow patterns of the job site. Obey flagmen, signs and signals.
There is no substitute for good judgment when working on a slope. Slope operation should be
limited according to the ground and traction conditions, the load being carried, and the speed of the
machine.
2.4. GENERAL MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
Replace any missing or defaced product graphics. When parts which have product graphics on
them are replaced, be sure to install new product graphics. New product graphics are available
from the Authorized Distributor of Construction Equipment.
Never let anyone near the machine's articulation pivot. If the machine is turned, they could be
crushed.
Before servicing the machine use the frame safety bar to prevent accidental articulation.
