PRECAUTION DURING OPERATION
WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions.
TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
Travelling on hills, banks or slopes that are steep could result
●
in the machine tipping over or slipping.
On hills, banks or slopes, carry the bucket closer to the
●
ground, approximately 20 to 30 cm above the ground. In case
of emergency, quickly lower the bucket to the ground to help
the machine stop and prevent it from tipping over.
Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go
●
down to a flat place to perform these operations.
Method of travelling on slopes, see "PRECAUTIONS
WHEN TRAVELLING UP OR DOWN HILLS (186)"
Do not travel up and down on grass, fallen leaves, and wet steel
plates. These materials may allow the machine to slip, if it is trav-
elling sideways. Keep travel speed very low.
