z
Notice the environment. Slow down and check whether there are some blockages when turning or
going through a narrow passageway.
z
Operate carefully to prevent unstable loads when the ground is uneven and the load is not stable.
5.7 Driving in Dangerous Conditions
z
Do not operate when you are unsure about the
environment. Investigate the condition of the road,
the strength of the bridge, landform of the working
area and all geologic features before working.
z
Pay attention to the depth that the tires sink and the
braking effect on muddy or soft ground.
z
When working in water or swampland, prevent the
bottom of the axle housing from being soaked. Slow
down after passing through water or during rain. Step
on the brake pedal gently and alternately to let the
skid device dry after working in water or in rain.
z
The clay piled on the ground or near the canal is
usually soft. Never allow a turn over caused by the
weight or vibration of the loader.
z
Never drive the machine near hanging things or close to a deep ravine. The machine weight or
vibration may cause the ground to collapse, and result in the machine turning over.
z
Assemble anti-fall and anti-turn operator cab when working in an area where there is danger of
falling stone and machine turnover.
z
Continual rainy weather, earthquake and explosions can cause dangerous working conditions.
Operate carefully in these cases.
z
Drive at a low speed, prevent starting, braking or turning suddenly, and use the tire chain on a
snowy road. Brake alternately. Lower the bucket to touch the ground to brake if necessary.
z
The load should be decreased to prevent slippage when driving on snowy ground because the
adhesive force may change greatly in the piled snow.
z
The road shoulder and other road conditions can not be seen under the snow, so take care with the
snow shovel.
5.8 Driving safely on the Ramp
z
Turnover or slippage may occur when driving on an abrupt hill, dyke or ramp.
