The danger of tipping is always present when oper-
ating on a grade, possibly resulting in serious injury
or death.
To avoid tipping:
•
Be extra careful before operating on a grade.
•
Prepare machine operating area flat.
•
Keep the bucket low to the ground and close to
the machine.
•
Reduce operating speeds to avoid tipping or
slipping.
•
Avoid changing direction when traveling on
grades.
•
NEVER attempt to travel across a grade steeper
than 15 degrees if crossing the grade is
unavoidable.

Reduce swing speed as necessary when
swinging loads.

Temperature increases will cause the ground to
become soft and make ground travel unstable.
