SAFETY RULES FOR TRAVELING

It is dangerous to drive too fast, or to start suddenly, stop suddenly, or to turn sharply.
When traveling on flat ground, keep the work equipment 40 to 50
cm (16 to 20 in) high above the ground.
When traveling on rough ground, travel at low speed and do not
operate the steering suddenly. There is danger that the machine
may turn over. The work equipment may hit the ground surface
and cause the machine to lose its balance, or may damage the
machine or structures in the area.
Avoid traveling over obstacles when possible. If the machine
has to travel over an obstacle, keep the work equipment close
to the ground and travel at low speed. Never travel over
obstacles which make the machine tilt strongly to one side.
When traveling or carrying out operations, always keep a safe
distance from people, structures, or other machines to avoid
coming into contact with them.
When passing over bridges or structures, check first that the
structure is strong enough to support the weight of the machine.
When traveling on public roads, check first with the relevant
authorities and follow their instructions.
When operating in tunnels, under bridges, under electric wires,
or other places where the height is limited, operate slowly and
be extremely careful not to let the work equipment hit anything.
For machines with the canopy specification, when the work equipment is operated to the maximum left boom
swing with the work equipment in the minimum swing posture, soil may spill from the bucket and fall on to the floor.
Be extremely careful when operating in this posture.
