Drive Safely with Bucket Loaded

 If the machine is incorrectly operated while driving with the
bucket loaded, turning over of the machine may result. Be
sure to follow all the instructions indicated below.
 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.
 Do not exceed the rated load capacity. Always operate
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.
 Avoid rapid drive direction changes which could possibly
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. Make sure of their location before
removing 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.
