2.8 Stability

The machine must always be operated with caution in order to maximize machine
stability and guard against the possibility of a rollover. 

Travel only at speeds appropriate for the local conditions.

Do not exceed the operating capacity of the machine.

Exercise extreme caution while operating on inclines.

Avoid operation on steep inclines.

Do not make sudden changes in direction, move slowly, and always carry 
loads low to maximize machine stability.

Always keep the heaviest end of the machine facing uphill when working 
on an incline. 

When operating on any surface other than firm and level ground, use extra 
caution. Decrease work speeds, limit load size and make any other 
necessary adjustments to maximize your safety and that of others in the 
work area.

Note: 

The parking brake, which is activated:

by pressing the switch (item 3, section 4.1)

automatically when the engine is turned off, the operator is not in the seat 
or the lap bar is raised 

is capable of holding the standard machine with bucket attachment in accordance
with ISO 10265; 2008.

2.9 Transporting Persons

The machine must not be used to transport persons.
