Special Cautions for Operations of Machine
on Ice/Snow
While traveling on snowy or icy roads, drive at
low speed and avoid the sudden startup, stop,
and direction change.
In snowy regions, the road curbs and the
roadside objects are buried in the snow to
become invisible. In addition, there is a danger
of machine rollover or collision with covered
objects. Therefore, always operate with
cautions.
There is a danger of rollover or snow
entrapment while driving the machine into thick
snow. Drive with cautions and do not drive over
road curbs or entrap in the snow.
For frozen soil surface, the ground becomes
soft when the temperature rises, which will
probably result in rollover of machine and
entrapment of operator in the machine.
While parking the machine on a unstable
ground, lower the bulldozing blade.
Do not change direction on slopes or cross
slopes. First return to the flat surface, and
then take another path.
When walking on a gentle slope covered with
grass or dead leaves, or when walking on wet
metal plates or frozen ground, the machine
may slip. Make sure that the machine does
not stop laterally on a slope.
If the machine stalls on a slope, return the
operating levers to the neutral position, and
then restart the engine.
