• The danger of tipping is always present when operating on
a grade, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
To avoid tipping:
• Be extra careful before operating on a grade.
• Prepare machine operating area flat.
• Keep the bucket low to the ground and close to the ma-
chine.
• Reduce operating speeds to avoid tipping or slipping.
• Avoid changing direction when traveling on grades.
• NEVER attempt to travel across a grade steeper than 15
degrees if crossing the grade is unavoidable.
• Reduce swing speed as necessary when swinging loads.
• Be careful when working on frozen ground.
• Temperature increases will cause the ground to become
soft and make ground travel unstable.

NEVER UNDERCUT A HIGH BANK

• The edges could collapse or a land slide could occur causing
serious injury or death.
