Operating The Machine - Case 3 Series Operator's Manual

SECTION 1

OPERATING THE MACHINE

ON ROAD AND JOB SITE
Do not allow anyone to climb onto the machine. A
passenger can fall or cause an accident.
Never operate any of the machine controls unless
you are seated correctly in the operator's seat.
Adapt your driving style to suit the conditions of
work (sloping ground or rough ground), the state of
the road and weather conditions.
Use all the controls gradually so that the machine
works smoothly.
Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key
even for stops of short duration.
Never leave the operator's compartment when the
engine is running.
Dust, smoke or fog can reduce visibility and cause
an accident. Stop the machine or slow down until
visibility returns to normal.
Never jump on or off the machine. When dismount-
ing from the machine always face the machine and
use the steps and access handles.
Whenever parking the machine on sloping ground,
use wheel chocks to immobilize the machine.
Never travel at full speed with the loader attachment
completely raised or if the loader bucket hinders vis-
ibility. You could drive into a hidden object.
ROAD OPERATION
It is mandatory to make sure that the brake pedals
are locked together before any road travel or travel
in third or fourth gear. If this instruction is not
observed an accident may occur.
Turn on the rotating beacon and the lights (if neces-
sary).
(4WS) before undertaking any road travel, select the
2 wheel steer mode and lift the cover to lock the
switch in this position.
JOB SITE OPERATION
On job sites on the public highway, use regulation
signals, taking into account the working range of the
machine. The national or local regulations define the
quantity, type and location of signals.
Avoid running the engine in an enclosed space. If
this cannot be avoided, ensure good ventilation
under all circumstances.
Do not work close to live overhead electric lines
without first making sure that the minimum dis-
tances are observed: 5 metres (16 ft).
