PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING ON SNOW OR FROZEN SURFACES
• Snow-covered or frozen surfaces are slippery, so be extremely careful when traveling or operating the ma-
chine, and do not perform abrupt lever operation. Machine may slip even on a slight slope. Be particularly
careful when working on slopes.
• Frozen road becomes soft when the temperature rises, and the machine may tip over or be not able to es-
cape. Be particularly careful when working on frozen road.
• It is dangerous that the machine enters deep snow. The machine may tip over or become buried in the
snow. Be careful not to go off the road or to get trapped in a drift of snow.
• When performing snow removal, the road and objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and
cannot be seen. Be careful.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN PARKING MACHINE
Unexpected move of the parked machine can cause serious personal injury or death. Observe the following.
• Park the machine on a firm, level ground.
• Select a place where there is no hazard of landslides, fall-
ing rocks, or flooding.
• Lower the work equipment to the ground.
• When leaving the machine, be sure to make the undercar-
riage and upper structure point to the same direction, low-
er the work equipment and blade to the ground, grip the
operating portion on top of the lock lever (1) to set the lock
lever (1) to LOCK position (L), and stop the engine.
• If the seat is positioned forward, your body or clothes will
easily touch the levers.
Shift the seat backward to keep enough space, and then
get off the machine.
• Close the operator's cab door, and lock all the places. Re-
move the key so that any unauthorized person cannot op-
erate the machine, and keep it in the specified place.
• If it is necessary to park the machine on a slope, always
observe the following.
• Set the work equipment to face the downhill side and
thrust it in the ground.
• In addition, block the tracks from movement.
