k
•
When carrying a load, lower the bucket to lower the
center of gravity of the machine and drive.
•
If the ECSS switch is turned ON during travel or with
the work equipment raised, the machine starts moving
instantly. Take care.
•
If the machine is operated with the ECSS switch ON,
the work equipment may starts moving at the moment
when the ECSS is actuated. Take care.
The load and carry method for wheel loaders consists of a cycle of scooping → hauling → loading (into a hop-
per, glory hole etc.).
Maintain the travel road constantly in good condition.
When performing load-and-carry operation, see "PRECAUTIONS FOR LOAD-AND-CARRY OPERATION
(3-223)".
LOADING WORK
Select an efficient loading method which minimizes the number of turns and travel distance according to the job
site.
•
Level the job site constantly. Avoid sudden steering or braking while the boom is being raised with
the bucket loaded. This is dangerous.
•
Never thrust the work equipment into the target material (soil or crushed rock) when the machine is
traveling at high speeds. This is dangerous.
•
If the ECSS switch is turned ON during travel or with the work equipment raised, the machine starts
moving instantly. Take care.
•
If the machine is operated with the ECSS switch ON, the work equipment may starts moving at the
moment when the ECSS is actuated. Take care.
NOTICE
