SAFETY RULES FOR TRAVELING

When using the machine, to prevent the machine from overturning due to overloading and to avoid damage to
the work equipment, do not exceed the maximum permitted load or performance of the machine.
When traveling on flat ground, keep the work equipment 40
to 50 cm (16-20 inches) 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.
When traveling on rough ground or steep slopes, if the
machine is equipped with auto-deceleration, always turn the
auto-deceleration switch OFF (cancel).
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 equip-
ment hit anything.
