SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
TRAVELING ON SNOW-COVERED OR FROZEN SURFACES
Snow-covered or frozen surfaces are slippery, so be extremely careful when traveling or operating the machine,
and do not operate the levers suddenly. Even a slight slope may cause the machine to slip, so be particularly
careful when working on slopes.
With frozen ground surfaces, the ground becomes soft when the temperature rises, and this may cause the
machine to tip over or make it impossible for the machine to escape.
When traveling on snow-covered roads, always fit tire chains.
If the machine enters deep snow, there is a hazard that it may tip over or become buried in the snow. Be careful
not to leave the road shoulder or to get trapped in a snow drift.
When clearing snow, the road shoulder and objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and cannot be
seen. There is a hazard of the machine tipping over or hitting covered objects, so always carry out operations
carefully.
When traveling on snow-covered slopes, never apply the foot brake suddenly. Reduce the speed and use the
engine as a brake while applying the foot brake intermittently (depress the brake intermittently several times). If
necessary, lower the work equipment to the ground to stop the machine.
PARKING MACHINE
Park the machine on firm, level ground.
Select a place where there is no hazard of landslides, falling
rocks, or flooding.
Lower the work equipment completely to the ground.
When leaving the machine, set gearshift lever (1) to the P
(Parking) position, then stop the engine.
Always close the operator's cab door, and use the key to lock all
the equipment in order to prevent any unauthorized person from
moving the machine. Always remove the key, take it with you,
and leave it in the specified place.
If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, set blocks
under the wheels to prevent the machine from moving.
