Safety Symbol Explanation
Slope Operation Safety
Drive the machine at a speed suitable for the terrain. Avoid sudden stopping, starting or turning.
Avoid traveling across slopes. Drive up and down slopes when possible. Safe operating slope depends
upon many factors, including:
• Keep moldboard low and close to the ground. Lower moldboard to ground if machine starts to
slip.
• Select the same gear when going downhill as would be used going uphill. Select the gear before
starting down slope. DO NOT freewheel down slopes or hills.
• Uphill or downhill position of moldboard
• Uneven, rough or slippery ground conditions
• Potential for ground giving way, causing either unplanned forward, reverse, or sideways tilt
• Nearness of ditches, ruts, stumps, or other obstructions and sudden changes in slope
• Travel speed and turning rate
• Front axle only steering versus frame articulation and front axle steering
• Braking performance
• Skill of operator
Safety Decals - Inspect
Safety decals located on your machine contain important and useful information that will help you
operate your equipment safely. To assure that all decals remain in place and in good condition, follow
the instructions given below:
• Keep decals clean. Use soap and water, not mineral spirits, abrasive cleaners, or other similar
cleaners that will damage the decal.
• Replace any damaged or missing decals. When attaching decals, the temperature of the mount-
ing surface must be at least 40°F (5°C). The mounting surface must also be clean and dry.
• When replacing a machine component with a decal attached, replace the decal also.
• Replacement decals can be purchased from your NorAm dealer.
