Operating Precautions
Cautions on traveling and turning
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, starts and 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 the working equipment must be operated
while traveling, do so with extra care.
When traveling, try not to cross over
obstacles. When crossing over something
cannot be avoided, keep the bucket close
to the ground and travel slowly. Also note
that the machine must not cross over an
obstacle with the machine body on an
extreme slope (of 15 degrees or more).
When traveling on rough terrain or when
carrying a load, lower the load and travel
slowly.
