SAFETY RULES FOR TRAVELING
When traveling on flat ground, keep the work equipment 40
to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) high above the ground.
When traveling on rough ground, travel at low speed and
do not operate the steering suddenly. There is danger that
the machine may turn over. The work equipment may hit
the ground surface and cause the machine to lose its bal-
ance, or may damage the machine or structures in the
area.
When traveling on rough ground or steep slopes, if the
machine is equipped with auto-deceleration, always turn
the auto-deceleration switch OFF (cancel).
Avoid traveling over obstacles when possible. If the
machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the work
equipment close to the ground and travel at low speed.
Never travel over obstacles which make the machine tilt
strongly to one side.
When traveling or carrying out operations, always keep a
safe distance from people, structures, or other machines to
avoid coming into contact with them.
When passing over bridges or structures, check first that
the structure is strong enough to support the weight of the
machine.
When traveling on public roads, check first with the rele-
vant authorities and follow their instructions.
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 work equip-
ment hit anything.
