Operating Precautions
Do not drive into materials at high
speeds
Driving at high speed into the materials you
are handling can lead to your body striking the
machine or being thrown from the machine.
Check the conditions surrounding the area
in front of the material you are handling and
work at low speeds.
Operate on snow or ice with extra
caution
When traveling on snow or frozen
surfaces, keep the machine travel speed
down and avoid accelerating, stopping
and changing directions abruptly.
Remember that the road shoulder, fences,
etc., may be buried in the snow and not
visible.
Lower the bucket when parked on unsure
ground conditions.
Do not carry the bucket over the
heads of people
Carrying the bucket over the heads of people
entails the danger of the load spilling or the
bucket suddenly dropping.
Caution against falling unstable
loads
Unstable loads such as round items,
cylindrical items, and stacked plates entail
the possibility of falling from the bucket.
When handling unstable loads, operate
carefully to avoid raising the bucket too high
or tilting it too far rearward.
