[BASIC POSTURE OF THE BLADE]
• Always clear the Blade from the ground during the hoisting operation. Failure to do so may
result a serious hazard including damaging the machine or it’s tipping over.
• Avoid ground leveling operations at the same time as hoisting operations. Otherwise, it may
cause a serious hazard including damaging the machine or it’s tipping over.
• A basic posture as below shall be observed for ground
leveling operations using the Blade.
• Keep the Blade ahead.
• Retract the boom to the minimum and stow the hook.
• Lower the boom to the range between “fully lowered to
35 degrees”.
Where the boom is raised in excess, the machine may tip
over and result a serious hazard.
• Any leveling operations other than in the basic posture may cause the machine to tip over or
damage to the wire rope which triggers a serious accident.
[SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR GROUND LEVELING]
• In the condition that the boom is “full lowered”, it’s end
exceeds the Blade end by “227cm”. It is essential to
ensure that no obstacles lie ahead. Else, the boom may
hit an obstacle and cause a critical accident.
• After leveling operations finish or during transportation,
position the Blade to touch the ground. The Blade may
lower down causing a critical accident due to a slack
Blade cylinder or hydraulic system error.
• Do not attempt to travel backwards while the Blade is
touching the ground. This can damage the hydraulic
hose. The Blade may become inoperable.
• Avoid the Blade hitting obstacles such as stones and
rocks.
Immediate damage of the Blade or cylinder may follow
such an event.
