•
Do not drive into materials at high speeds to avoid being thrown forward and injured.
•
Do not use the machine to lift or transport people. Never carry riders. Do not allow
others to ride on the machine or attachments.
•
Use extra care on loose ground. Working heavy loads over loose, soft ground or
uneven terrain can cause dangerous side-load conditions and possible tip-over and
injury. Traveling with a suspended load or an unbalanced load can also be hazardous.
•
Stay away from the edges of loading docks, ramps, ditches, excavations, retaining
walls, overhangs, trenches and other weak support surfaces.
•
When near an excavation or ditch, be sure the surrounding ground has adequate
strength to support the combined weight of the machine and load.
•
When operating on inclines or ramps, always travel with the heavier end of the
machine toward the top of the incline for additional stability.
•
Never travel over obstacles or slopes that will cause the machine to tilt severely.
Travel around any slope or obstacle that would cause the machine to tilt greater than
10°.
•
Avoid steeps slopes. Do not make sharp turns on slopes. Drive up and down slopes,
not across them. Drive slowly on slopes. Keep the heavy end of the machine pointed
uphill.
•
Avoid sharp turns and high speeds while carrying loads, especially on slopes. The sta-
bility of the machine is reduced during sharp turns, and the load may shift, greatly
increasing the possibility of an overturn.
•
Do not turn the machine when lifting loads. As loads are lifted, stability decreases,
which can increase the possibility of a rollover.
•
Avoid slowing suddenly while carrying a load. Sudden slowing can cause the load to
fall off the attachment, or cause the machine to tip over.
•
Do not turn off the ignition keyswitch while traveling. Turning off the ignition will
cause sudden braking, which may cause the machine to tip.
•
Reduce speed before shifting from high to low travel speed. Down-shifting from high-
to low-speed drive while traveling at high speed may cause the machine to tip and can
cause injury, loss of control and damage to the machine.
•
If the machine becomes unstable and starts to tip, keep the seat belt fastened, hold on
firmly and brace yourself. Keep hands and feet inside the operator’s compartment.
Lean away from the point of impact and stay with the machine. If tipping occurs, DO
NOT jump from the machine. The machine is equipped with rollover protection,
which can only protect the operator while in the operator’s seat. Trying to escape from
a tipping machine can result in death or serious personal injury.
•
If temperatures are changing, be cautious of dark and wet patches when working or
traveling over frozen ground.
•
In cold weather, avoid sudden travel movements and stay away from even slight
slopes. The machine can slide sideways on icy slopes.
•
Snow accumulation can hide potential hazards. Use care while operating and while
using the machine to clear snow.
