•
Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not suddenly change the speed or direction of
the machine.
•
Avoid operating the machine on wet terrain. Tires
may lose traction. A rollover can occur before the
tires lose traction.
•
Travel straight up and down a slope.
•
If you begin to lose momentum while climbing a
slope, gradually engage the brakes and slowly
reverse the machine straight down the slope.
•
Turning while going up or down a slope can be
dangerous. If you must turn on a slope, do it slowly
and cautiously.
•
Heavy loads affect stability on a slope. Carry a
reduced load and reduce your ground speed when
operating on a slope or if the load has a high
center of gravity. Secure the load to the cargo bed
of the machine to prevent the load from shifting.
Take extra care when hauling loads that shift easily
(e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.).
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine
on a slope, especially with a load. Stopping while
going down a slope takes longer than stopping
on a level surface. If you must stop the machine,
avoid sudden speed changes, which can cause
the machine to tip or roll over. Do not engage the
brakes suddenly when rolling rearward, as this
may cause the machine to overturn.
Loading and Dumping Safety
•
Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of
the machine when operating it with a load in the
cargo bed and/or towing a trailer.
•
Distribute the load in the cargo bed evenly to
improve the stability and control of the machine.
•
Before dumping, ensure that there is no one
behind the machine.
•
Do not dump a loaded cargo bed while the
machine is sideways on a slope. The change
in weight distribution may cause the machine to
overturn.
Operating the Cargo Bed
Raising the Cargo Bed
WARNING
A raised bed could fall and injure persons that
are working beneath it.
•
Remove any load material from the bed
before raising it.
•
Ensure that the cargo bed is fully up and
stable before working under the bed.
WARNING
Driving the machine with the cargo bed raised
could cause the machine to tip or roll easier.
You could damage the structure of the cargo
bed if you operate the machine with the bed
raised.
•
Operate the machine when the cargo bed
is down.
•
After emptying the cargo bed, lower it.
CAUTION
If a load is concentrated near the back of the
cargo bed when you release the lever, the bed
may unexpectedly tip open, injuring you or
bystanders.
•
Center loads in the cargo bed, if possible.
•
Hold the cargo bed down and ensure that
no one is leaning over the bed or standing
behind it when releasing the lever.
•
Remove all cargo from the bed before
lifting the bed up to service the machine.
Lift the lever to raise the cargo bed (
).
