SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
INVESTIGATE JOB SITE BEFORE HAND
Clear all persons from area of operation and machine
movement.
Make sure worksite footing has sufficient strength to
firmly support the machine.
When working close to an excavation, operate the
machine with che chassis frame positioned
perpendicular to the cliff face, so that the machine can
more easily evacuate if the cliff face collapses.
Confirm that your machine is equipped with a R.O.P.S.
(Roll Over Protective Structure) cab before working in
areas where there is the possibility of falling stones or
landslides.
WORKING ON SLOPES
Never go down on slopes with gearbox in neutral. You
might loose control and cause serious injuries or death.
When going down on slopes, use a low gear. In this
way the engine is used as brake and holds the machine
without overloading brakes.
When working on a slope and the warning light for fuel
insufficient level lights up, fill the tank immediately.
Due to machine inclination, the engine can suct air and
stop suddenly, causing a serious danger to the
operator and the persons behind the machine.
If the engine stops suddenly, apply brakes and lower
immediately the blade to the ground.
