vibration may cause the ground to collapse, and result in the machine turning over.
z Assemble anti-fall and anti-turn operator cab when working in an area where there is danger of
falling stone and machine turnover.
z Continual rainy weather, earthquake and explosions can cause dangerous working conditions.
Operate carefully in these cases.
z Drive at a low speed, prevent starting, braking or turning suddenly, and use the tire chain on a
snowy road. Brake alternately. Lower the bucket to touch the ground to brake if necessary.
z The load should be decreased to prevent slippage when driving on snowy ground because the
adhesive force may change greatly in the piled snow.
z The road shoulder and other road conditions can not be seen under the snow, so take care with the
snow shovel.
5.8 Driving safely on the Ramp
z Turnover or slippage may occur when driving on an abrupt hill, dyke or ramp. So take care.
z The bucket should be 200~300mm above the ground when driving on an abrupt hill, dyke or
ramp. Lower the bucket and touch the ground to help
brake or prevent turn over in emergency conditions.
z Do not turn on the ramp. Do not drive across the
ramp or change direction which may turn over the
machine until on the level place.
z Never turn on the ramp until on the level ground. Slow down and use a small turning angle when
working on an abrupt hill, dyke or ramp.
z Go up and down the ramp rather than drive through alleyway or footpath.
z Choose proper gears before going down the slope and never change the speed during going down
the slopes.
z Do not suddenly brake on the ramp because the center of gravity is on the front tire or rear tire.
z Use gear I when driving on the ramp with a full load. Go forward when driving up the ramp, go
backward when driving down the ramp. Never turn around.
z Brake when driving down the ramp, do not set the gearshift control lever in the position of the
neutral gear.
z Go down the ramp slowly; never stop the engine.
