Loading and Driving with a Load
• The maximum payload for SC 45 is 992lb (450kg). Do not exceed this maximum
payload under any circumstance.
• Do not operate on a slope steeper than 20 degrees. Do not carry more than 496lb
(225kg) with SC 45 when operating on a slope between 15 and 20 degrees.
• Place a load in loading deck so that the weight is evenly distributed. When carrying
a load, strap it to loading deck to prevent it from shifting. Ensure that the load does
not obstruct the operator's field of view.
• When carrying a load, drive at a reduced speed. Allow greater distance for braking.
• Before crossing a bridge or an overpass, make certain that the total combined
weight of machine, load and operator is within the stated weight limit of the bridge
or the overpass. Then, proceed carefully and at a constant speed.
Dumping
When dumping material from loading deck, take the following precautions.
• Always follow the proper procedures for dumping as described in this manual.
• Perform dumping operation on a flat, level and stable surface. Do not dump on a
slope or on a rough terrain.
• Make certain that all persons are at a safe distance away from machine when raising
or lowering loading deck.
• Do not move machine or leave it unattended with loading deck in the raised position.
• Engage loading deck lock plate if you must place any part of your body under
loading deck in the raised (dump) position. Never place any part of your body under
loading deck in the raised (dump) position without engaging loading deck lock
plate.
