• Before moving the machine off, check that the area
around the machine is safe, then sound the horn be-
fore starting.
• Keep people away from the machine.
• The area behind the machine is a blind spot. Particu-
larly pay attention when traveling in reverse.
• When moving off the machine on a slope, always keep
decelerator/brake pedal (2) depressed, even after re-
leasing parking brake lever (1).
• When moving off the machine on a steep uphill, turn
fuel control dial (3) to High idle (MAX) position and run
the engine at full speed.
Depress decelerator/brake pedal (2) fully, select 1st
speed, and set joystick (steering, directional and gear
shift lever) (4) to the direction to move off.
Begin to release decelerator/brake pedal (2) gently,
and when the machine moves off slowly (or shoe slip),
release decelerator/brake pedal (2) fully.
• When decelerator/brake pedal (2) is depressed or fuel
control dial (3) is set in Low idle (MIN) position on a
flat ground, the machine is stopped but it does not
mean that brake is applied.
• On slopes, the machine moves even at low idle, so be
extremely careful.
