that when the machine turns, the rear wheels follow
the tracks of the front wheels.
• Rotate the steering wheel to follow the turn of the
machine. When turning fully, never try to rotate the
steering wheel once it reaches its full stroke.
8. Rule to decelerate on a slope
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Going up or down a slope diagonally is
dangerous because the machine may skid.
Always drive or operate straight up or down a
slope, or the machine may slip side ways and
tip over.
• Use the foot brake together with engine brake if
the
machine
tends
to
over-run
when
descending a slope.
• When descending down along slope, use the
engine brake. Using the foot brake alone
accelerates wear of the brake pad, causes heat
buildup, and will result in poor brake
performance.
IMPORTANT :
• When driving downhill, there is a risk of being
overrun by operating the speed-control-
switches or the direction switch.
9. Precautions for traveling on rough
roads
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Slow down when turning on rough uneven
terrain and slopes to avoid tip over.
10. Precautions for traveling on
snow
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• There is the risk of the machine slipping
excessively on frozen ground. Install chains on
the front wheels. For operation on snow, install
chains on both front and rear wheels.
When traveling on snow, it is important to keep the
wheels and their related parts in good condition.
After traveling, be sure to remove all snow and ice from
the wheels and their related parts.
STOPPING THE MACHINE
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or death:
• Choose flat and level ground for parking the
machine. It is important to lower the bucket to
the ground.
If you must park the machine on a slope, be
sure to block the tires securely.
• When dismounting the machine, stop the
engine, lower the bucket and attachment to the
ground, release the hydraulic pressure in the
hydraulic system by operating control levers,
and remove the starter key.
1. Remove foot from the accelerator pedal.
2. Depress the inching-and-brake-pedal and stop the
machine.
