SAFETY
DRIVE MACHINE SAFELY
• Before moving the machine, confirm which way to
move travel pedals/levers for the corresponding
direction you wish to go.
Pushing down on the front of the travel pedals or
pushing the levers forward moves the machine
towards the idlers. (Refer to the Steering the
Machine Using Pedals/Levers section in the
operator's manual 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 (approximately 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 a slope may cause
the machine to skid or to turnover. When traveling
(ascending/descending) on a slope, be sure to
point the tracks uphill/downhill.
Turning on an incline may cause the machine to
tip over.
If turning on an incline is absolutely unavoidable,
do so at a place where the slope is gentle and the
surface is firm.
