SAFETY
IC75 ENG 1-5
DO NOT CHANGE DIRECTIONS WHILE ON A SLOPE
Avoid changing the direction of travel on a slope, which
could result in tipping or side slipping of the machine.
When it is inevitable to change the direction, carry it out in
a hard ground where the slope is gradual.
MOVE UP AND DOWN SLOPES DIRECTLY NOT
SIDEWAYS
Moving sideways or parallel to the slope while on it may
cause the machine to slide and fall over.
To prevent such accidents, only move up and down
slopes at a direct angle.
WATCH THE MACHINE POSITION WHILE TRAVELING
ON SLOPES
The machine center of gravity tends to quickly change
while traveling on sloping surfaces.
This can create hazardous situations where the machine
may tip over.
Observe the following points regarding machine position:
•
Go forward up the hill and back down the hill WHEN
NO CARRYING A LOAD.
•
Reverse up the hill and go forward down the hill WHEN
CARRYING A LOAD.
NEVER ALLOW PERSONNEL RIDE ON THE MACHINE
OTHER THAN OPERATOR.
Any person riding as a passenger can fall off and suffer
injury. In addition, such a passenger also obstructs the
driving by the Operator.
Only operator is authorized to be on the machine during
operation. Never let unauthorized personnel ride on the
machine.
