Avoid Machine Tip Over and Machine Damage

Use seat belt at all times.
Do not jump if the machine tips. Operator is unlikely to
jump clear and the machine may crush the operator.
Load and unload from trucks or trailers carefully. Be
sure that truck is wide enough and on a firm, level surface.
Use loading ramps and attach them properly to truck bed.
Avoid trucks with steel beds because tracks slip more
easily on steel.
Be careful on slopes. Use extra care on soft, rocky,
or frozen ground. Machine may slip sideways in these
conditions. When traveling up or down slopes, keep the
bucket on uphill side and just above ground level.
Be careful with heavy loads. Using oversize buckets or
lifting heavy objects reduces machine stability. Extending
a heavy load or swinging it over side of undercarriage
may cause machine to tip.
Ensure solid footing. Use extra care when operating
near banks or excavations that may cave-in and cause
machine to tip or fall.

Use Special Care When Lifting Objects

Never use this machine to lift people.
Never lift a load above another person. Keep bystanders
clear of all areas where a load might fall if it breaks free.
Do not leave the seat when there is a raised load.
Do not exceed lift capacity limits posted on machine and
in this manual. Extending heavy loads too far or swinging
over undercarriage side may cause machine to tip over.
Use proper rigging to attach and stabilize loads. Be sure
slings or chains have adequate capacity and are in good

Use Special Care When Operating

Never use the attachment to lift people. Do not allow
anyone to ride on attachment or use it as a work
platform.
Operate carefully with raised loads. Raising the load
reduces machine stability, especially on side slopes or an
unstable surface. Drive and turn slowly with a raised load.
Safety—Operating Precautions
condition. Use tether lines to guide loads and prearranged
hand signals to communicate with co-workers.
Be careful when lifting loads. Never attempt to lift loads
too heavy for machine. Ensure machine stability and
hydraulic capability with a test lift before attempting other
maneuvers. Keep bystanders away from raised loads.
