PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
•
When driving the machine on a level ground, keep the
work equipment at height (A) of 50 to 60 cm above the
ground. If that height is not maintained between the work
equipment and the ground, the work equipment may get
stuck in the ground and the machine may tip over.
When you are forced to operate the work equipment con-
trol lever, do it after stopping the travel once.
•
Try to avoid traveling over obstacles. If the machine has to
travel over an obstacle, keep the work equipment close to
the ground and travel at low speed. The machine tips over
easily to the right or left. Do not drive it over obstacles
which make the machine tilt largely to the right or left.
•
When driving the machine on the rough ground, drive it at low speed and do not operate the steering sud-
denly. There is a danger that the machine may tip over. The work equipment may hit the ground, and the
machine may lose its balance, or it may damage the machine or structures in the area.
•
When using the machine, to prevent serious personal injury or death caused by the work equipment or by
the machine tipping over due to overloading, do not use the machine beyond the permitted performance of
the machine such as the maximum permitted load for the structure of the machine.
•
When passing over bridges or structures, check first that the structure is strong enough to support the
weight of the machine.
•
When operating in tunnels, under bridges, under electric wires, or other places where the height is limited,
operate slowly and be extremely careful not to let the machine body or work equipment hit anything.
•
If you drive the machine at high speed continuously for a long time, the tires will overheat and the internal
pressure will become abnormally high. This may cause the tires to burst. If a tire bursts, it produces a large
destructive force, and this may cause serious injury or death.
•
Directional lever or directional selector switch must not be set to NEUTRAL position while traveling or trav-
eling downhill. Set the direction of directional lever or directional selector switch to the position that matches
the machine traveling direction.
•
It is dangerous that the engine brake is disabled, and the AJSS lever and the steering wheel become
heavier.
•
The transmission and other parts of the power train may be damaged, and it may cause serious per-
sonal injury or death.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING ON SLOPES
To prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping to the side, always observe the following.
