Precautions on Operating Attachments
WARNING
Long attachments reduce machine stability. When traveling down steep slopes or
turning on slopes, the machine may loose its balance and tip over.
The following operations are particularly dangerous. Do not perform them.
¡¡
¡¡
¡When heavy attachments are installed, the overrun (the distance from where the
operation to stop traveling is performed until traveling stops completely) increases
and mistakes in judgment may result in the attachment hitting surrounding objects.
Allow for plenty of room between the attachment and obstacles.
In addition, the natural drop (the gradual dropping of the attachment under its own
weight when it is stopped in midair) also increases when heavy attachments are
installed.
