Job Site Operation - Case 570T Operator's Manual

4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Job site operation

On job sites on the public highway, use regulation signals, taking into account the working range of the machine.
Local regulations define the number, type and location of reflective strips. Be vigilant, be aware of places where other
persons are working close to your working area. Keep other persons away from the machine. Serious injury can
result if these instructions are not observed.
Adapt your driving style to suit the conditions of work (sloping ground or rough ground), the state of the road and
weather conditions. Operate all controls consistently so the machine works smoothly.
When travelling at right angles to the slope keep the loader bucket at ground level. When travelling in the same
direction as the slope, move onto the slope in low gear (first gear). Never travel downhill with the gearshift lever in
neutral position. When working on a slope, engage the front drive axle (4WD) if available. Holes, obstacles, debris
and other hazards in the working area can cause serious injury.
Always walk around and identify all possible hazards before operating the machine in a new working area. Make
sure you know the location of underground pipes or cables before beginning work. Electrical cables, gas pipes, water
pipes or other underground installations can cause serious injury. Do not work close to live overhead electric lines
without first making sure that the minimum distance of 13 ft are observed.
