Precautions on Operating Attachments
AwARNING
Long attachments reduce machine stability. When traveling
down
steep slopes
or
turning on slopes,
the
machine
may
loose its balance and
tip
over.
The following operations are particularly dangerous. Do
not
perform them.
• Traveling
down
slopes
with
• Traveling across slopes
the
attachment lifted
• Turning on slopes
• When heavy attachments are installed, the overrun (the distance from where the
control movement
to
stop
traveling is performed until traveling stops completely)
increases, and mistakes in
judgment
may
result in the attachment hitting surrounding
objects.
Allow
for
plenty
of
room between
the
attachment and obstacles.
In addition,
the
natural
drop
(the gradual dropping
of
the
attachment under its
own
weight
when
it
is stopped in midair) also increases when heavy attachments are
installed.
