022-00028AE Operation and Maintenance Manual
KEEP "PINCH POINT" AREAS CLEAR – USE
CAUTION IN REVERSE
Use a signal person in high traffic areas and
whenever operator’s view is not clear, such as
when traveling in reverse.
Anyone standing near wheels, or working
assemblies of the attachment, is at risk of being
caught between moving parts of machine.
Never allow anyone to ride on any part of
machine or attachment, including any part of
operator’s cab.
TRAVEL PRECAUTIONS
Engage frame lock for long-distance travel. When traveling, wheel loader always keeps lights on; make
sure that you are in compliance with all state and local regulations concerning warning flags and signs.
Attachment control levers should not be operated while traveling.
Fold in work equipment so that outer end of boom is as close to machine as possible, and is about 440 mm
(17") above ground.
Never travel over obstacles or slopes that will cause machine to tilt severely. Travel around any slope or
obstacle that causes 10 degrees tilt, or more.
OPERATE CAREFULLY ON SNOW AND ICE AND IN VERY COLD TEMPERATURES
In icy cold weather avoid sudden travel movements and stay away from even very slight slopes. Machine
could skid off to one side very easily.
Snow accumulation could hide or obscure potential hazards. Use care while operating or while using
machine to clear snow.
Warming up engine for a short period may be necessary, to avoid operating with sluggish or reduced
working capacity. Jolting shocks and impact loads caused by bumping or bottoming boom or attachment
are more likely to cause severe stress in very cold temperatures. Reducing work cycle rate and work load
may be necessary.
PARKING MACHINE
Avoid making sudden stops, or parking machine wherever it happens to be at the end of the work day. Plan
ahead so that the wheel loader will be on firm, level ground away from traffic and away from high walls, cliff
edges and any area of potential water accumulation or runoff. If parking on inclines is unavoidable, block
wheels to prevent movement. Lower bucket or other working attachment completely to ground, or to an
overnight support saddle. There should be no possibility of unintended or accidental movement.
