machine, avoid sudden speed changes, which
may initiate tipping or rolling of the machine. Do
not slam on the brakes when rolling backward, as
this may cause the machine to overturn.
Operating on Rough Terrain
Reduce the ground speed of the machine and load
carried in the machine when operating on rough
terrain, uneven ground, and near curbs, holes, and
other sudden changes in terrain. Loads may shift,
causing the machine to become unstable.
WARNING
Sudden changes in terrain may cause abrupt
steering wheel movement, possibly resulting
in hand and arm injuries.
•
Reduce your speed when operating on
rough terrain and near curbs.
•
Grip the steering wheel loosely around the
perimeter, keeping thumbs up and out of
the way of the steering wheel spokes.
Loading and Dumping
•
Do not exceed the rated weight capacity of the
machine when operating it with a load in the
cargo box, when towing a trailer, or both; refer to
Specifications (page 18)
.
•
Use caution when operating the machine on a
hillside or on rough terrain, particularly with a load
in the cargo box or when towing a trailer or both.
•
Be aware that the stability and control of the
machine are reduced when the load in the cargo
box is poorly distributed.
•
Carrying oversized loads in the cargo box changes
the stability of the machine.
•
The steering, braking , and stability of the machine
are affected when carrying a load where the weight
of the material cannot be bound to the machine,
such as the liquid in a large tank.
WARNING
The weight of the box may be heavy. Hands
or other body parts could be crushed.
– Keep your hands and other body parts
away when lowering the box.
– Do not dump materials on bystanders.
•
Never dump a loaded cargo box while the machine
is sideways on a hill. The change in weight
distribution may cause the machine to overturn.
•
When operating with a heavy load in the cargo
box, reduce your speed and allow for sufficient
braking distance. Do not suddenly apply the
brakes. Use extra caution on slopes.
•
Be aware that heavy loads increase your stopping
distance and reduce your ability to turn quickly
without tipping over.
•
The rear cargo space is intended for load carrying
purposes only, not for passengers.
