SAFETY
Operating on slopes is dangerous
When operating on slopes or grades, slewing
or operation of working equipment may
cause the machine to lose stability and tip
over. Avoid operating on slopes whenever
possible.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
•Levelofftheworkarea.
•Avoidslewingtothedownhilldirectionwith
the bucket full of loaded material. This will
reduce the stability of the machine and
may result in tipping over.
Never slew (swing) sideways with a heavy
load
The machine can tip over more easily in the
lateral direction than in the longitudinal
direction.
•Donotslew(swing)sidewayswithaheavy
load at the tip of the hoe attachment. In
particular, do not slew (swing) sideways on
slopes.
•Thetipoftheattachmentisheavierfor
machines equipped with breakers,
crushers or long arms than for machines
equipped with the standard bucket. For
such machines with heavier tips, do not
perform excavation with the digging arm
(boom) facing the downhill direction or
operate toward sideways.
Be careful with the overhead objects
When operating under bridges, in tunnels,
near electric cables or indoors, be careful not
tolettheboomorarmhitoverheadobjects.
