OPERATIONS

PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION

When the arm is pushed out to the front, the speed momentarily
becomes slow around the vertical position of the arm.
Turning or operating the work equipment when working on slopes may
cause the machine to lose it balance and turn over, so avoid such
operations.
It is particularly dangerous to swing downhill when the bucket is loaded.
If such operations have to be performed, pile soil to make a platform (A)
on the slope so the machine is kept horizontal during operation.
Do not travel up or down steep slopes. There is danger that the machine
may turn over.
It is Prohibited to Use the Swing Force for Operations.
Do not use bucket swing force to compact soil or break an earth
wall, or do not dig the bucket teeth into the ground while swinging
the bucket. Such a way of using the bucket can cause damage to
the work equipment.
It is Prohibited to Use the Travel Force for Operations.
Do not move off and excavate with the bucket left dug into the
ground.
