 When driving the machine on a job site with the bucket
loaded, hold the bucket as low as possible to keep the
machine balanced and to have good visibility.

the machine within the rated load capacity.
 Avoid fast starts, stops, and quick turns. Failure to do so
may result in personal injury and / or death.

cause personal injury and / or death.

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
frozen 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
removing snow.
 Be sure to use tire chains when driving on snow.

quick stop is required, lower the bucket to the ground.
