SAFETY
Operating Precautions
Cautions on traveling and turning
¡
Traveling and turning should be performed
with the bucket cylinder fully retracted and
the bucket at a height of approximately
30 cm (12 in.) from the ground.
¡
Avoid sudden stops, start or turns.
¡
Do not raise the safety bar while traveling.
This is dangerous, since raising the safety
bar will cause the parking brake of the
traveling motor to operate and apply the
brake abruptly.
¡
Do not switch off the starter switch while
traveling. Doing so will cause sudden
braking and is dangerous.
¡
Before backing up, visually check for
safety to the rear. Backing up without
checking could result in contact with a
worker or obstacle.
¡
If unavoidable while traveling, when
operating the working equipment, do so
with care.
¡
When traveling, try not to cross over
obstacles. When crossing over something
cannot be avoided, maintain the bucket
close above the ground and travel slowly.
Also note that the machine must not cross
over an obstacle with the machine body
on an extreme slant (of 15 degrees or
more).
¡
When traveling on rough terrain or when
carrying a load, lower the load and travel
slowly.
