Avoid Undercutting
In order to retreat from the edge of an excavation if the
footing should collapse, always position the undercarriage
perpendicular to the edge of the excavation with the travel
motors at the rear.
If the footing starts to collapse and if retreat is not
possible, do not panic. Often, the machine can be secured
by lowering the front attachment, in such cases.

The danger of tipping is always present when operating on
a grade, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.
To avoid tipping:
Be extra careful before operating on a grade.
Prepare machine operating area flat.
Keep the bucket low to the ground and close to the
machine.
Reduce operating speeds to avoid tipping or slipping.
Avoid changing direction when traveling on grades.
NEVER attempt to travel across a grade steeper than 15
degrees if crossing the grade is unavoidable.
Reduce swing speed as necessary when swinging loads.
Be careful when working on frozen ground.
Temperature increases will cause the ground to become
soft and make ground travel unstable.
