The danger of tipping is always present when operating on
a grade, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
To avoid tipping:
Be extra careful before operating on a gradient.
Prepare machine operating area flat.
Keep the bucket low to the ground and close to the
machine.
Reduce operating speeds to avoid tipping or slipping.
Avoid changing direction when traveling on gradients.
If crossing the gradient is unavoidable, never attempt to
travel across a gradient steeper than 5 degrees.
Reduce swing speed as necessary when swinging loads.
Be careful when working on frozen ground.
Temperature increases will cause the ground to become
soft and make ground travel unstable.
