OPERATING PROCEDURES
PROHIBITED OPERATIONS
• Do not operate on bedrock (hard or
soft).
• If you must operate the lift arms and/or
bucket while traveling, operate at
speeds slow enough so that you have
complete control at all times.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Do not perform any operation on a slope.
The machine may lose its balance and tip
over if the working equipment is operated on
a slope.
Do not travel or turn with the bucket raised.
Keep the bucket as low as possible during
traveling.
Travel at a speed appropriate for the
operating conditions. Travel at low speeds
with care in the places where the field of view
is obstructed or there are hazardous objects
nearby.
Do not use this machine in areas where there
is danger of explosion from volatile gases.
Also avoid using the machine where the
exhaust gases could come in contact with
flammable items.
Do not attempt a spin turn or pivot turn at
high speeds. Doing so may cause the
machine to tip over or the tracks to come off
and/or extremely wear.
