DRIVE MACHINE SAFELY
• Driving the machine in the incorrect direction may result
in serious injury or death and/or severe damage to
property.
• Before moving the machine, confirm which way to
move travel pedals/levers for the corresponding di-
rection you wish to travel.
• Avoid passing over any obstructions. Failure to do so
may cause soil, rock fragments and/or metal pieces to
be scatter around the machine. Keep bystanders away
from the machine.
• Traveling on a grade may cause the machine to slip or to
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
• When traveling up or down a grade, keep the bucket in
the direction of travel, approximately 200 to 300 mm (8
to 12 in) (A) above the ground so that lowering the
bucket onto the ground can quickly stop the machine.
• If machine starts to skid or becomes unstable, lower
the bucket immediately.
• Traveling across the face of slope or steering on a
slope may cause the machine to skid or to turnover. If
the direction must be changed on a slope, first move
the machine to level ground, then, change the travel-
ing direction to ensure safe operation.
