all times. Stay alert for obstructions and possible hazards.
!MWARNING
Do not dismount a moving machine.

Do not use the brake pedal as a footrest.
Select the correct gear before you drive down a slope. Use
the same gear you would use to go up the slope. Do not
change gear on a slope.
First gear gives the machine its maximum driving torque
and engine braking effect. Use first gear when you:
– Drive through mud.
– Manoeuvre in tight spaces.
– Drive up or down steep slopes.
Approach deep mud with the front wheels straight.
Always stop the machine and let the engine go to idle
before you change gear from forward to reverse or from
reverse to forward.
Do not let the engine idle in reverse or forward gear for
more than five minutes. The engine at idle in these
positions can cause overheating and damage to the
transmission. Always select neutral when the time at idle
will be more than five minutes.
!MWARNING
Should the machine start to roll over, you can be
crushed if you try to leave the cab. If the machine
starts to roll over, do not try and jump from the cab.
Stay in the cab, with your seat belt fastened.
