CAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
ATTACHMENTS
Warning
Long attachments reduce stability of the
machine. The machine may tip over if it
loses the balance when traveling or
slewing on slopes.
Never perform the operations listed below
as they are extremely dangerous.
GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
•Travelingdowntheslopeswiththe
attachment raised
•Traveling
acrossslopes
•Slewingonslopes
•Ifthereisaheavyattachmentis
installed, the machine takes longer
distance than usual to come to a
complete stop when the stopping
operation is performed. Carefully judge
the distance so as not to bump into an
object around the machine. Keep a safe
distance from surrounding obstacles.
When a heavy attachment is installed,
natural drop (the gradual dropping of
the attachment under its own weight
when it is stopped in midair) increases.
•Themachinecantipovermoreeasilyin
the lateral direction than in the
longitudinal direction.
· Do not slew sideways with a heavy
load at the how attachment. In
particular, do not slew sideways on
slopes.
· The attachment is heavier for
machines equipped with breakers or
crushers than for machines equipped
with the standard bucket. Do not
operate such machines sideways,
especially digging downhill.
•Whenalongarmisinstalled,the
operating range increases. Carefully
judge the distance so as not to bump
into an object around the machine.
Keep a safe distance from surrounding
obstacles.
