OPERATION

PRECAUTIONS FOR LOADING

When loading the machine, park the trailer on a flat firm road-
bed. Keep a fairly long distance between the road shoulder
and the machine.
After loading to the specified position, secure the machine as fol-
lows.
1. Fully extend the bucket and arm cylinders, then slowly lower
the boom.
2. Stop the engine and remove the key from the starting switch.
3. Raise safety lock lever to LOCK position.
REMARK
In certain conditions it may be possible for the safety lock
lever to contact the left hand arm rest on the operator seat.
to avoid this, always ensure that the left hand arm rest is stowed
in the fully up position before operating the safety lock lever.
4. When transporting the machine, hold it down with chains or
rope. Be particularly careful to ensure that the machine does
not slip sideways.
NOTICE
When transporting the machine, place rectangular timber
under one end of the bucket cylinder to prevent it touching
the ground, thereby saving it from possible damage.
