of the machine to prevent the load from shifting.
Take extra care when hauling loads that shift easily
(e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.).
•
Avoid stopping on a slope, especially with a
load. Stopping while going down a slope takes
longer than stopping on level ground. If you must
stop the machine, avoid sudden speed changes,
which can cause the machine to tip or roll over.
Do not engage the brakes suddenly when rolling
rearward, as this may cause the machine to
overturn.
