2.26.1 CAUTIONS DURING PICK & CARRY OPERATION
Pick & carry makes the machine very unstable and involves danger, and is not
recommended.
If you have to perform pick & carry, the load must be within the values shown in the
“Pick & carry rated total load chart” and the pick & carry posture must be strictly
respected.
Not observing these cautions on pick & carry can cause serious accidents.
[1] RATED TOTAL LOAD AND WORKING RANGE CAUTION DURING PICK & CARRY
ALWAYS observe the rated total load in the
following table and the working range in the
right figure during pick & carry.

[2] CAUTIONS ON WORKSITE
The following ground and location present the machine overturning hazard. Do not approach
those locations or perform pick & carry at those locations.
Check the condition of the road surface and ground in advance and have someone to guide you
at the hazardous location or a location with poor vision.
• Slope, soft ground such as swamps, ground with many obstacles, ground with distinct
irregularity such as river beds
• Near deep gullies and road shoulders
• Under water, shallow water, snowy area, frozen road
[3] CAUTIONS ON OPERATIONS
The following traveling operations involve the danger of overturning the machine. Never perform
these operations.
Always remain seated on the operation seat and carefully perform the pick & carrying operation.
• Do not perform any crane operations while travelling. Keep the pick & carry posture.
• Do not hold the load high. Hold the load near the ground so that the load does not swing.
• Do not perform sudden starting, sudden stopping, or sudden steering. The load will swing and
will be dangerous. Keep the engine at low speed and travel slowly.
• Do not go over an obstacle. The machine will topple over easily. Always travel on the path
avoiding the obstacles.
