operating capacity, lifting capacity, and operating
specifications. Exceeding rated capacities and
specifications can result in loss of control, roll-over or other
serious hazard.
•
Lightweight power machines may need weight added to the
rear to maintain steering control and prevent forward
tipping or side tipping caused by a heavy front load. Consult
your power machine Operator's Manual to determine
proper weight requirements and maximum weight
limitations.
