any potential collision.
No stunt driving or horseplay while operating a
machine.
Do not lower the boom unless the area below is
clear of personnel and obstructions.
Limit travel speed according to the condition of the

collision.
Use extreme care and slow speeds while driving
the machine in the stowed position on any slope.
