AwARNING
• Never allow anyone
to
enter the turning
radius and machine path.
• Signal your intention
to
move
by
sounding the horn.
• Traveling and turning should be
performed with the
bucket
cylinder fully
retracted and the
bucket
at
a height
of
approximately 30
cm
(12
in.) from the
ground.
• Avoid sudden stops, start
or
turns.
• Do
not
raise the safety bar while
traveling. This is dangerous, because
raising the safety bar will cause the
parking brakes
of
the travel
motors
to
operate and apply the brakes abruptly.
• Do
not
switch
off
the ignition switch
while traveling. Doing so will cause
sudden braking and is dangerous.
• Before backing up, visually
check
for
safety
to
the rear. Backing up
without
checking could result in
contact
with a
worker
or
obstacle.
• If unavoidable while traveling, when
operating the working equipment,
do
so
with
care.
• Avoidcrossingoverobstacleswhenever
possible. If you
must
do
so, keep the
bucket
close
to
the ground and travel
slowly. Never cross obstacles
if
they
will seriously
tilt
the machine (to an
angle
of
15°
or
greater).
• When traveling on rough terrain
or
when carrying a load,
lower
the load
and travel slowly.
• Remove any obstacles in the machine's
path.
Use the left control lever to operate the
crawler tracks.
Return the left control lever to the neutral
position to stop the tracks.
