WARNING: Failure to follow these safety
precautions may lead to a serious accident.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING
• Fold in the work equipment as shown in the diagram below, and keep it at a height of 40-50 cm (16 to
20 in) from the ground level before starting to travel.
• When travelling, do not operate the work equipment control levers. If the work equipment control
levers have to be operated, never operate them suddenly.
• When travelling on rough ground, travel at low speed, and avoid sudden changes in direction.
• Avoid travelling over obstacles as far as possible. If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep
the work equipment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low speed. Never travel over
obstacles which make the machine tilt strongly (10
o
or more).
TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
• Travelling on hills, banks or slopes that are steep could result in the machine tipping over or slipping.
• On hills, banks or slopes, carry the bucket closer to the ground, approximately 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in)
above the ground. In case of emergency, quickly lower the bucket to the ground to help the machine
stop and prevent it from tipping over.
• Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go down to a flat place to perform these opera-
tions.
Method of travelling on slopes n See 12.12 “PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING UP OR
DOWN HILLS.”
• Do not travel up and down on grass, fallen leaves, and wet steel plates. These materials may allow
the machine to slip, if it is travelling sideways. Keep travel speed very low.
