WARNING:
 Always turn the auto-idle switch OFF and turn the
power mode switch to (PWR) or (ECO) position when
loading or unloading the machine. In the auto-idle
mode, speed may automatically increase.
 Always select the slow speed mode with the travel
mode switch.
 Never steer while driving up or down a ramp as it is
extremely dangerous and may cause the machine to
turnover. NEVER attempt to change directions whilst
positioned on the ramp. If repositioning is necessary,
first move back to the ground or flatbed, modify
traveling direction, and begin to drive again.
 The top end of the ramp where it meets the flatbed
is a sudden bump. Take care when traveling over it
as the balance may be lost. If the front attachment is
not fitted, reverse onto the trailer.
 Extreme care must be taken when swinging the
upper structure when the machine is on the trailer
flatbed.If the front attachment is fitted, swing slowly
with the arm fully roll-in underneath the boom being
careful not to loose the balance of the machine.
 NEVER attempt to swing the upper structure
when the machine is on a trailer flatbed. It is very
dangerous and can cause the machine to turnover.
 When the machine is loaded/unloaded without the
front attachment, remove counterweight.
 If the front attachment is installed, lower the front
attachment as possible before loading/unloading
the machine.
