Drive Machine Safely - Hitachi EX27U Operator's Manual

DRIVE MACHINE SAFELY

•
Before moving the machine, confirm which way to move
travel pedals/levers for the corresponding direction you
wish to go.
• Pushing the travel levers forward moves the machine
towards the idlers. (Refer to the Driving the Machine
"Travel Levers" section for correct travel operation.)
•
Traveling on a grade may cause the machine to slip or
to overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
• When traveling up or down a grade, keep the bucket
in the direction of travel, approximately 200 to 300 mm
(8 to 12 in) (A) above the ground.
• If machine starts to skid or becomes unstable, lower
the bucket immediately.
• Traveling across the face of slope or steering on a
slope may cause the machine to skid or to turnover. If
the direction must be changed, move the machine to
level ground, then, change the direction to ensure
safe operation.
