• Frozen road becomes soft when the temperature rises, and the machine may tip over or be not able to es-
cape. Be particularly careful when working on frozen road.
• When traveling on snow-covered roads, always fit tire chains.
• It is dangerous that the machine enters deep snow. The machine may tip over or become buried in the
snow. Be careful not to go off the road or to get trapped in a drift of snow.
• When traveling on snow-covered slopes, never apply the foot brake suddenly. Reduce speed, use the brak-
ing force of the engine, and pump the brakes (depress the brake pedal several times) to stop the machine.
• Do not try to perform dumping operations when the load inside the dump body is frozen. There is danger
that this may cause the machine to tip over.
WHEN PARKING MACHINE
Unexpected move of the parked machine can cause serious personal injury or death. Always observe the fol-
lowing.
• Park the machine on a firm, level ground.
• Select a place where there is no hazard of landslides, falling rocks, or flooding.
• When leaving the machine, always lower the dump body
completely, lock with dump lever lock knob (1), set gear
shift lever (2) to NEUTRAL position (N), set parking brake
switch (3) to “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 operating the machine. Always remove the
key, take it with you, and keep it in the specified place.
• If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, set
blocks under the tires to prevent the machine from moving.
TRANSPORTATION
When the machine is transported on a trailer, serious personal injury or death may result because of the acci-
dent during transportation. Always observe the following.
• Always check the machine dimensions carefully. Depending on the attachments installed, the machine
weight, transportation height, and overall length may differ.
• Obey all laws such as road width, weight, height and length of load that govern the route.
