5. Steer, brake, accelerate, shift gears (for wheeled machines),
and move the attachment levers and pedals slowly so that the
machine moves smoothly.
6. Adjust the machine speed and travel path to minimise the
vibration level.
 When pushing with bucket or blade, avoid sudden load-
ing; load gradually.
 Drive around obstacles and rough terrain conditions.
 Slow down when it is necessary to go over rough terrain.
 Make the curve radius of travelling path as large as pos-
sible.
 Travel at low speed when travelling around sharp curves.
7. Minimise vibrations for long work cycle or long distance trav-
elling.
 Reduce speed to prevent bounce.
 Transport machines long distances between worksites.
8. The following guidelines can be effective to minimise risks of
low back pain.
 Operate the machine only when you are in good health.
 Provide breaks to reduce long periods of sitting in the
same posture.
 Do not jump down from the cab or machine.
 Do not repeatedly handle and lift loads.
