SAFETY
OPERATE CAREFULLY ON SNOW
1
• When working on snow or icy roads, even a slight slope may cause the machine to slip to the side, so always travel at low
speed and avoid sudden starting, stopping, or turning.
• When there has been heavy snow, the road shoulder and objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and cannot be
seen, so always carry out snow clearing operations carefully.
WORKING ON LOOSE GROUND
1
• Avoid operating your machine too close to the edge of cliffs, overhangs, and deep ditches. If these areas collapse, your ma-
chine could fall or tip over and result in serious injury or death. Remember that the soil after heavy rain or blasting is weak-
ened in these areas.
• Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches are loose. They can collapse under the weight or vibration of your ma-
chine.
• Install the head guard if working in areas where there is danger of falling rocks and dirt.
PARKING THE MACHINE
1
• Park on level ground whenever possible. If not possible, block the tracks, lower the
mounted equipment to the ground and thrust the blade into the ground.
• When parking on public roads, provide fences and signs, such as flags or lights, on
the machine to warn passersby to be careful. Be sure that the machine, flags or
lights do not obstruct traffic.
Parking procedure, ➜ ➜ ➜ ➜ see "PARKING THE MACHINE" on page 2-63.
• When leaving the machine, lower the work equipment completely to the ground, set
the safety lock lever to the LOCK position, then stop the engine and use the key to
lock all the equipment. Always take the key with you.
