8. Operating Precautions
1-9
WARNING Neglecting these instructions may cause extreme hazards.
• When traveling with the machine, keep the bucket 16 to 20 in. (40 to 50 cm) above the ground with
boom and arm folded as illustrated below.
• If you need to operate the control levers while traveling, never move them abruptly.
• Travel the machine at a low speed and slow down when turning on rough terrain.
• Avoid running over obstacles if possible. If unavoidable, run the machine at a low speed while
keeping the implement close to the ground. Never run over obstacles that may cause the machine
to tilt more than 10 degrees.
• Run the machine carefully on a slope to avoid overturning or skidding sidewards.
• When running the machine on a slope, keep the bucket 8 to 12 in. (20 to 30) cm above the ground
so that you can immediately lower it to the ground and stop the machine in an emergency.
• Never turn the machine on a slope or run it across the slope.
Move down to flat ground and then make a turn.
For instructions on how to run the machine on a slope, refer to Section "13-11. Precautions
for going up and down a slope".
• On grasses, dead leaves or a wet metal plate, even with a slight gradient, the machine will easily
slip. Under those circumstances, run the machine carefully at low speed to prevent it from skidding.
