SAFETY
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident.
OPERATIONS ON SLOPES
When working on slopes, there is danger that the machine
●
may lose its balance and turn over when the swing or work
equipment are operated. Always carry out these operations
carefully.
● Do not swing the work equipment from the uphill side to the
downhill side when the bucket is loaded. This operation is
dangerous.
(See the upper diagram on the right.)
If the machine has to be used on a slope, pile the soil to make
●
a platform that will keep the machine as horizontal as possi-
ble.
(See the lower diagram on the right.)
