SAFETY
Precautions when the lift arms are in the
float mode
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
• It is very dangerous to set the lift arms to
the float mode while the bucket is raised
too high, as the bucket is likely to fall.
Lower the bucket to a height of 30 cm (12
in.) or less above the ground before setting
the lift arms to the float mode.
• Do not travel forward with the lift arms in
the float mode.
Do not drive into materials at high speeds
Driving at high speed into the materials you
are handling can lead to your body striking
the machine or being thrown from the
machine. Before working the material, check
the conditions of the area and work at low
speeds.
Operate the machine on snow or ice with
extra care
• When traveling on snow or on frozen
surfaces, drive at a low speed and avoid
starting, stopping or changing directions
abruptly.
• In the snowy area, the road shoulder and
objects placed beside the road are buried
in the snow and cannot be seen. There is a
hazard of the machine tipping over or
hitting covered objects, so always carry out
operations carefully.
• If the machine enters deep snow, there is a
hazard that it may tip over or become
buried in the snow.
Be careful not to drive beyond the road
shoulder or to get trapped in a snow drift.
• With frozen ground surfaces, the ground
becomes soft when the temperature rises,
and this may cause the machine to tip
over, resulting in an operator trapped inside
the machine.
• When parking the machine on an unstable
ground, lower the bucket.
