DRIVE SAFELY
• Beware of the possibility of slipping and/or turning
over the machine when driving on a slope.
• When driving on level ground, hold the bucket at
mark (A) 400 to 500 mm above the ground as il-
lustrated.
• Avoid driving over any obstacles.
• Drive the machine slowly when driving on rough
terrain.
• Avoid quick direction changes. Failure to do so
may cause the machine to turn over.
• If the engine stops while driving, the steering
function becomes inoperative. Immediately stop
the machine by applying the bake to prevent

DRIVE MACHINE SAFELY (WORK SITE)
• Before driving the machine, always confirm that the
steering wheel/F-N-R lever direction corresponds to
the direction you wish to drive.
• Be sure to detour around any obstructions.
• Driving on a slope may cause the machine to slip or
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or
death.
• When driving up or down a slope, keep the bucket
facing the direction of travel, approximately 200 to
300 mm (approximately 8 to 12 in) (A) above the
ground.
• If the machine starts to skid or becomes unstable,
immediately lower the bucket to the ground and
stop.
• Driving across the face of a slope or steering on a
slope may cause the machine to skid or overturn. If
the direction must be changed, move the machine to
level ground, then, change the direction to ensure
safe operation.
