2.6 Precautions for using optional accessories
• An accessory that is very long may imbalance the machine and cause it to tip over when it
descends a slope or pivots on a slope.

• If you mount a particularly heavy accessory on the machine, the inertia of the upper struc-
ture will increase and continue to rotate over a long distance once the rotation lever has been
released.
• This may give the operator a false impression of the distance to be respected between the
pivoting accessory and a nearby object and may strike the accessory against the object. To
avoid this type of accident, stop the rotation as soon as possible.
• Because of the increase in the inertia, the accessory will fall a greater distance away after it
has been stopped in the air. There will be major unplanned drift for the accessory.
• Check that the arm and the boom are correctly mounted. If this is not the case, accidents or
damage may occur. Contact your dealer if you have any questions relating to mounting the
boom or the arm.
• If you mount a long accessory, you may incorrectly estimate the distance between the ac-
cessory and a nearby object and strike the accessory against the object. Provide enough room
between the long accessories and the nearby objects.
