2. Danger Zone - Use a walk behind machine or a hand held
tool near drop offs, ditches, embankments, water or other
hazards.

4. W=width of the machine
5. Keep a safe distance (twice the width of the machine)
between the machine and any hazard.
•
Use extra care while operating the machine with
attachments; they can affect the stability of the
machine.
•
If the engine stalls or you begin to lose momentum
while climbing a hill, gradually apply the brakes
and slowly back straight down the hill.
•
Always keep the transmission in gear (if applicable)
when you drive the machine down a slope.
•
Do not park the machine on an incline.
•
The weight of the material in the tank can change
the handling of the machine. To avoid loss of
control and personal injury, follow these guidelines:
– When operating with a heavy load, reduce your
speed and allow for sufficient braking distance.
Do not suddenly apply the brakes. Use extra
caution on slopes.
– Liquid loads shift, especially while turning,
going up or down slopes, suddenly changing
speeds, or while driving over rough surfaces.
Shifting loads can cause the machine to tip
over.
