• The danger of tipping is always present when
operating on a grade, possibly resulting in serious
injury or death.
To avoid tipping:
• Be extra careful before operating on a grade.
Prepare machine operating area flat.
Keep the bucket low to the ground and close to
the machine.
Reduce operating speeds to avoid tipping or
slipping.
• Avoid changing direction when traveling on
grades.
NEVER attempt to travel across a grade steeper
than 15 degrees if crossing the grade is
unavoidable.
Reduce swing speed as necessary when swinging
loads.
• Be careful when working on frozen ground.
Temperature increases will cause the ground to
become soft and make ground travel unstable.
