When working on slopes with an angle of 20 ° or more, if the
fuel level on the fuel gauge enters the red range, add fuel im-
mediately.
(A): Red range
(B): Green range
Pay attention to oil level.
When operating the machine on a slope of 20 ° or more, fill all components with oil to H level.
Pay attention to engine speed on slopes.
Set the fuel control dial to a medium speed or higher position and prevent the travel speed from increasing with
the decelerator pedal and brake pedal.
Pay attention to stopping of engine on slopes.
If the engine stops while working or traveling on a hill, immediately depress the brake pedal to bring the ma-
chine to a complete stop.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING BRAKE
Always depress the decelerator pedal to lower the engine speed before actuating the brakes. In an emergency,
immediately depress the brake pedal to stop the machine.
Do not place your foot on the brake pedal during operation unless applying the brake.
The following actions cause premature damage to the brakes, so avoid such operations.
• Apply the brake sharply during travel at high idle.
• Operate the brake while the engine is running at high idle in the 1st speed range (F1 or R1). (Machine is
stalled)
DO NOT OPEN DOOR WHILE OPERATING MACHINE
Always keep the door closed when traveling or performing operations.
If the door is open, it may be damaged by obstacles or strong vibration.
DO NOT MODIFY CAB GLASS IN ANY WAY THAT WILL OBSTRUCT THE
VIEW
Never install anything which obstructs the view and affects the safety to the glass.
Keep the glass clean and secure the safety for the work.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FLOATING OPERATION
If the blade is operated to FLOAT when the engine is running at low speed or when it is idling, hunting may
occur.
Raise the engine speed when performing FLOAT operation.
