6. Precautions for turning the
machine
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Do not turn sharply at high speeds. It is
dangerous. In the worst possible case, the
machine may turn over.
• The steering wheel for this machine will not
return of itself to the straight ahead position
after turning. Be sure to return the steering
wheel to the straight ahead position.
• Steering lose will result if the engine is stopped
during travel.
Do not stop the engine during travel.
To steer the machine to either side, turn the steering
wheel in the intended direction.
• The front and rear frames of this machine bend at
the center pin (the pin connecting the 2 frames) so
that when the machine turns, the rear wheels follow
the tracks of the front wheels.
• Rotate the steering wheel to follow the turn of the
machine. When turning fully, never attempt to rotate
the steering wheel once it reaches its full stroke.

7. Rule to decelerate on a slope
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Going up or down a slope diagonally is
dangerous because the machine may skid.
Always drive or operate straight up or down a
slope, or the machine may slip side ways and
tip over.
• Use the foot brake together with engine brake if
the
machine
tends
descending a slope.
• If the engine should stall on a slope, set the
parking-brake-switch to the parking position
immediately for safety purpose, although the
disc brake is automatically applied.
Then set the shuttle-change-lever to the neutral
position to prepare for the next start.
• When descending down along slope, use the
engine brake. Using the foot brake alone
accelerates wear of the brake pad, causes heat
buildup,
and
will
performance.
8. Precautions for traveling on rough
roads
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Slow down when turning on rough uneven
terrain and slopes to avoid tip over.
9. Precautions for traveling on snow
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• There is the risk of the machine slipping
excessively on frozen ground. Install chains on
the front wheels. For operation on snow, install
chains on both front and rear wheels.
When traveling on snow, it is important to keep the
wheels and their related parts in good condition.
After traveling, be sure to remove all snow and ice from
the wheels and their related parts.
