DuRING OPERATION
• Beware of bystanders, PARTICULARLY CHILDREN! Always look around to make sure that it is safe to
start the engine or move the unit. This is particularly important with higher noise levels and quiet cabs,
as you may not hear people shouting.
• NO PASSENGERS ALLOWED- Do not carry passengers anywhere on or in the equipment.
• Keep hands and clothing clear of moving parts.
• Do not clean, lubricate, or adjust your equipment while it is moving.
• When halting operation, even periodically, set the vehicle’s brakes, disengage hydraulic pumps, shut off
engine, and remove ignition key.

inspect area prior to operation.
- DO NOT operate near edge of drop-off or banks.
- DO NOT operate on steep slopes as overturn may result.
