Drive Machine Safely - Hitachi ZAXIS 130-6N Operator's Manual

Drive Machine Safely

 Before driving the machine, always confirm that the travel
levers/pedals 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 35 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 0.2 to 0.3 m (see A
on the right) 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.
