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 (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.
