Precautions on Operating Attachments
Long or big attachments reduce machine stability. When traveling down steep slopes
or turning on slopes, the machine may loose its balance and tip over.
The following operations are particularly dangerous. Do not perform them.
� Traveling down slopes
with the dump body lifted
� When heavy attachments are installed, the overswing (the distance from where the
operation to stop swinging is performed until swinging stops completely) increases
and mistakes in judgment may result in the attachment hitting surrounding objects.
Allow for plenty of room between the attachment and obstacles.
In addition, the natural drop (the gradual dropping of the attachment under its own
weight when it is stopped in midair) also increases when heavy attachments are
installed.
� The machine can tip over more easily in the lateral direction than in the longitudinal
direction.
• Do not swing sideways with excessive weight. In particular do not swing sideways
on slopes.
