Traveling On Snow-Covered Or Frozen Surfaces - Komatsu ecot3 Operation And Maintenance Manual

PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
In the operation using the fork or grapple, do not attempt to pick
up an object with their tips.
There is a danger of damage to the machine or personal injury,
as the picked - up object can easily slip off.

TRAVELING ON SNOW-COVERED OR FROZEN SURFACES

Snow-covered or frozen surfaces are slippery, so be extremely careful when traveling or operating the machine,
and do not operate the levers suddenly. Even a slight slope may cause the machine to slip, so be particularly
careful when working on slopes.
With frozen ground surfaces, the ground becomes soft when the temperature rises, and this may cause the
machine to tip over or make it impossible for the machine to escape.
If the machine enters deep snow, there is a hazard that it may tip over or become buried in the snow. Be careful
not to leave the road shoulder or to get trapped in a snow drift.
When clearing snow, the road shoulder and objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and cannot be
seen. There is a hazard of the machine tipping over or hitting covered objects, so always carry out operations
carefully.
