• To reduce the risk of overturning, pay special attention when encountering an
obstacle or a slope, or when braking on a slope or during a turn. See Driving on a
Slope on the next page.
• Never attempt to drive over large obstacles such as rocks or fallen trees.
• Always travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Be
alert when traveling on changing terrain.
• Never operate on terrain that you are not comfortable with. Avoid terrain that is so
rough, slippery or loose that you feel like you could overturn.
• Do not operate the machine near the edge of a cliff or a ditch, an overhang or a slide
area. Pay special caution after rain or earthquake.
• Do not make sudden maneuvers. A sudden start, stop, or turn can make the machine
lose control and could cause an overturn. Be especially cautious when traveling on
soft or wet ground.
• Drive at a safe speed, taking into account the surface gradient, surface conditions
and load.
• Use an observer to help direct the machine when the visibility is poor, terrain is
rugged or hilly, or maneuvering room is limited. The observer should be able to see
the machine and its immediate surroundings, and should give pre-arranged signals
to direct the operator.
Cutting
When conducting cutting operation, take the following precautions.
• Always follow the proper procedures for cutting as described in this manual.
• Shutt off the work site. Post signs to inform that cutting operation is underway.
Close off the site with rope if necessary to keep people, especially children, off the
work site.
• Pay attention to the surrounding area. Running cutting rotor or implement throws
stones, rocks and debris. This can cause property damage, injury, or death.
