Do not touch equipment or attachment parts that may be hot from operation. Allow to cool
before attempting to maintain, adjust, or service.
Never let children or untrained people operate or service the machine.
Do not allow any person or animal near the machine or its attachments whilst in operation.
Stop the machine if any person or animal approaches.
Immediately replace worn, damaged, or missing decals.
REMEMBER – SAFETY IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY
Use extra caution on uneven ground requires. Do not operate on uneven ground exceeding
15 degrees. If a slope is greater than 5 degrees, only travel up or down, not across.
Always have the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight distribution will change, an empty
bucket will make the rear of the machine heaviest, and a loaded bucket will make the front
of the machine heaviest. Various attachments will change which end is heaviest. These same
rules apply when loading and unloading the machine onto a trailer or truck.
Reduce speed over rough or uneven ground to reduce the likelihood of the machine tipping
over.
Avoid turning on uneven ground and when you must, turn slowly keeping the heavy end of
the machine uphill.
Do not operate near ditches or embankments, the machine could turn over if a wheel goes
over an edge, into a ditch or if an edge collapses.
Use caution on wet grass & slippery surfaces that may reduce traction & cause wheel slip.
Identify and remove obstacles such as rocks, tree limbs, etc. from the work area. Watch for
ruts or bumps as uneven terrain which could tip over the machine.
Operate in slow speed while on uneven ground to reduce changes in direction and speed.
If parking on uneven ground or hillsides always lower the load frame and attachment to the
ground and chock the wheels.
If the machine becomes unstable, step clear. Never try to stabilise the machine by putting
your foot on the ground.
Be aware of blind corners, shrubs, trees, or ends of fences that may obscure vision.
Keep children out of, and ensure they cannot enter the worksite. If a child enters the
worksite stop and shut down the machine immediately.
Never carry children (or anyone) on a machine or any of its attachments.
Do not allow children to play on or to operate the machine or within the work area or site.
