OPERATING TIPS
Look down and to the rear and make sure area
is clear before operating in reverse.
Do not operate on steep slopes.
Do not operate while the parking stand is in the
down position.
Do not stop, start, or change directions
suddenly on slopes.
Use extreme care and reduce ground speed on
slopes and rough terrain.
Watch for hidden hazards on the terrain during
operation.
Before working underneath, read manual
instructions, securely block up, and check
stability. Secure blocking prevents equipment
from dropping due to hydraulic leak down,
hydraulic system failure, or mechanical
component failure.
