Drive On Snow Safely; Travel On Public Roads Safely - Hitachi ZW180 Operator's Manual

DRIVE ON SNOW SAFELY

• Beware of the possibility of slipping or turning over the
machine when driving on frozen snow surfaces.
• The machine may slip more easily than expected on fro-
zen snow surfaces even if the inclination is small. Reduce
speed when driving. Avoid fast starts, stops and quick
turns.
• Road shoulder and/or set-up utilities covered with snow
are difficult to locate. Be sure where they are before re-
moving snow.
• Be sure to use tire chains when driving on snow.
• Avoid applying the brake for quick stops on snow. If a
quick stop is required, lower the bucket to the ground.

TRAVEL ON PUBLIC ROADS SAFELY

• This machine is not allowed to drive on public loads with
the bucket loaded.
• Be sure to empty the bucket.
• Hold the bucket at mark (A) 400 to 500 mm above the
road surface as illustrated.
• Even though the machine is equipped with the emergency
steering system, if the steering function becomes inoper-
able during drive operation, press the emergency steering
check switch on the right console to activate the emergen-
cy steering system. Then, immediately park and stop the
machine in a safe location.
