CAUTION:
Precautions for Lifting Work
 Operate the machine on level ground. Operating
the machine on a slope may cause the machine
to become unstable, possibly resulting in tipping
accident.
 When lifting a load, carefully swing the machine
not to cause the lifted load to come in contact with
personnel working near the machine. Reduce the
engine speed to slowly swing the machine. Failure
to do so may cause the machine to tip over by swing
centrifugal force.
 If traveling the machine with a lifted load is
unavoidable, reduce the engine speed to slowly
travel the machine.
 Never move the front attachment and/or swing the
machine while traveling the machine with a lifted
load. The lifted load may sway, possibly creating a
hazardous situation.
