Drive Safely - Hitachi ZW 100-G Workshop Manual

KEEP RIDERS OFF MACHINE
•
Riders on machine are subject to injury such as be-
ing struck by foreign objects and being thrown off
the machine.
•
Only the operator should be on the machine.
Keep riders off.
•
Riders also obstruct the operator's view, resulting
in the machine being operated in an unsafe
manner.

DRIVE SAFELY

•
Beware of the possibility of slipping and/or turning
over the machine when driving on a slope.
•
When driving on level ground, hold the bucket at
mark (A) 400 to 500 mm above the ground as il-
lustrated.
•
Avoid driving over any obstacles.
•
Drive the machine slowly when driving on rough
terrain.
•
Avoid quick direction changes. Failure to do so
may cause the machine to turn over.
•
If the engine stops while driving, the steering
function becomes inoperative. Immediately stop
the machine by applying the bake to prevent
personal accident.
DRIVE MACHINE SAFELY (WORK SITE)
•
Before driving the machine, always confirm that the
steering wheel/F-N-R lever direction corresponds to
the direction you wish to drive.
•
Be sure to detour around any obstructions.
•
Driving on a slope may cause the machine to slip or
overturn, possibly resulting in serious injury or
death.
•
When driving up or down a slope, keep the bucket
facing the direction of travel, approximately 200 to
300 mm (approximately 8 to 12 in) (A) above the
ground.
•
If the machine starts to skid or becomes unstable,
immediately lower the bucket to the ground and
stop.
•
Driving across the face of a slope or steering on a
slope may cause the machine to skid or overturn. If
the direction must be changed, move the machine to
level ground, then, change the direction to ensure
safe operation.
