OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL STE35SR
Operations on Snow
Snow-covered or frozen surfaces are slippery, so be extremely careful when traveling or
operating the machine, and do not operate the levers suddenly. Even a slight slope may
cause the machine to slip, so be particularly careful when working on slopes.
With frozen ground surfaces, the ground becomes soft when the temperature rises, and this
may cause the machine to tip over.
If the machine enters deep snow, there is a hazard that it may tip over or become buried in the
snow. Be careful not to leave the road shoulder or to get trapped in a snow drift.
When clearing snow, the road shoulder and objects placed beside the road are buried in the
snow and cannot be seen. There is a hazard of the machine tipping over or hitting covered
objects, so always carry out operations carefully.
Parking Machine
Park the machine on firm, level ground.
Select a place where there is no hazard of falling
rocks or landslides, or of flooding if the land is
low.
Lower the work equipment completely to the
ground.
When leaving the machine, set lock lever to the
LOCK position, then stop the engine.
Always close the operator's cab door, and use
the key to lock all the equipment in order to
prevent any unauthorized person from moving
the machine. Always remove the key, take it with
you, and leave it in the specified place.
If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope,
always do as follows.
Set the bucket on the downhill side, then dig it
into the ground.
Put blocks under the tracks to prevent the
machine from moving.
