Drive Machine Safely
Before driving the machine, always confirm that the
steering wheel/F-N-R lever direction corresponds to the
direction you wish to drive.
Be sure to detour around any obstructions.
Avoid traveling over obstructions. Soil, fragments of rocks,
and/or metal pieces may scatter around the machine. Do
not allow personnel to stay around the machine while
traveling.
Driving on a slope may cause the machine to slip or
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
Never attempt to ascend or descend 20 degrees or
steeper slopes.
Be sure to fasten the seat belt.
When driving up or down a slope, keep the bucket facing
the direction of travel, approximately 0.5 to 1.0 m (A)
above the ground.
If the machine starts to skid or becomes unstable,
immediately lower the bucket to the ground and stop.
Driving across the face of a slope or steering on a
slope may cause the machine to skid or turnover. If
the direction must be changed, move the machine to
level ground, then, change the direction to ensure safe
operation.
Avoid swinging the upperstructure on slopes. Never
attempt to swing the upperstructure downhill. The
machine may tip over. If swinging uphill is unavoidable,
carefully operate the upperstructure and boom at slow
speed.
If the engine stalls on a slope, immediately lower the
bucket to the ground. Return the control levers to neutral.
Then, restart the engine.
Be sure to thoroughly warm up the machine before
ascending steep slopes. If hydraulic oil has not warmed
up sufficiently, sufficient performance may not be
obtained.
