SAFETY
Safety - 9
Operating On Slopes
Slopes can cause loss-of-control and
tip-over accidents, which can result in
severe injury or death. Be familiar with the
emergency parking brake, along with the
power unit controls and their functions.
If power unit is equipped with a fold down
roll bar, it must be locked in the upright
position when operating on any slope.
Use low range when operating on slopes
greater than 15 degrees.
Do not stop or start suddenly when operating on slopes.
Never shift between high and low range while on a slope. Always move the power unit to level ground
and place the selector lever in park before shifting range.
Variables such as wet surface and loose ground will reduce the degree of safety. Do not drive where
machine could lose traction or tip over.
Keep alert for hidden hazards in the terrain.
Stay away from drop-offs, ditches, and embankments.
Sharp turns should be avoided when operating on slopes.
Pulling loads on hills decreases safety. It is the responsibility of the owner/operator to determine loads
that can safely be controlled on slopes.
Transport machine with attachment lowered or close to the ground to improve stability.
While operating on slopes, drive in an up and down direction when possible. If turning is necessary
while driving across slopes, reduce speed and turn slowly in the downhill direction.
Assure a suffi cient supply of fuel for continuous operation. A minimum of one-half tank of fuel is recommended.
Roadway Safety
Operate with safety lights when operating on or near roadways.
Obey all state and local laws concerning operation on roadways.
Slow down and be careful of traffi c when operating near or crossing roadways. Stop before crossing
roads or sidewalks. Use care when approaching areas or objects that may obscure vision.
If there is doubt of safety conditions, discontinue machine operation until a time when
operation can be performed safely.
When operating near or on roadways, have a Slow Moving Vehicle Emblem clearly
displayed.
Truck Or Trailer Transport
Use care when loading or unloading machine into a truck or trailer.
The parking brake is not suffi cient to lock the machine during transport. Always secure the power unit
and/or attachment to the transporting vehicle.
Shut off fuel supply to power unit during transport on truck or trailer.
