MACHINE OPERATION HAZARDS
Absolutely avoid the following work situations:
•
Do not handle loads beyond the maximum
capacity of the machine.
•
Do not raise or extend the boom if the machine
is not on a firm, level surface.

Do not operate the machine in strong wind. Do
not increase the surface area of the machine or
forked load exposed to the wind. Increasing the
area exposed to the wind will decrease machine
stability.
•

machine is driven across uneven or unstable
grounds, slippery surfaces or near trenches or
drop-offs.
•
Limit travel speed according to ground conditions,
slopes, presence of personnel or other factors
which may cause collision.
•
Do not place or attach overhanging loads to any
part of the machine.

Do not start the engine if you smell or detect
LPG, gasoline, diesel fule or other explosive
substances.
•
Do not refuel the machine with the engine running.
•
Refuel the machine and charge the battery only
in a well ventilated area away from sparks, naked
flames and lighted cigarettes.
