Safety
Operation Precautions
Avoid driving over obstacles whenever possible.
If it’s necessary to drive over obstacles, keep the
bucket operating device near the ground and
travel at low speed. Do not drive over any
obstacle that will incline the machine by 10
° or
larger.
On rugged roads, drive the machine at low
speed and avoid the sudden startup, stop, and
direction change. Otherwise, the working
device will probably come into contact with the
ground to cause unbalance and damage of
machine or destruct the structure in surrounding
area.
While traveling on a slope, lower the bucket to
20~30cm off the ground. While climbing up a
steep slope, extend the bucket working device to
the front position. In event of an emergency,
lower the bucket onto the ground and stop the
engine of machine.
When walking on slopes or ramps, drive
slowly. Reduce engine speed when going
downhill. Do not reverse the machine down a
slope.

prevent the rollover and gliding of machine.
Do not drive the machine on a slope steep
enough to cause instability of machine.
Please be noted that, in the actual
applications, the performances of machine
on a slope will be deteriorated due to
severe working conditions.
