6.
When operating the machine on rough ground,
decrease speed and exercise caution.
When using the machine, avoid soft ground
7.
to prevent overturn due to the shoulder of the
road collapsing.
Do not operate the machine on upward slopes
8.
greater than 12°.
9.
If you find an abnormality, stop the machine
on flat ground. Before inspecting the machine,
pull the brake lever and lock the brake, and
then turn the power off.
10. Before operating the machine, make sure that
the lock lever is fully pulled down and com-
pletely locked. If the lock is incomplete, there is
a risk of accident or injury as the carrier or bucket
may be tilted and the objects fall when going
downhill.
11.
Be careful not to entangle the cords with the
load or obstacles.
Operation on slopes
1.
Do not cross on slopes.
2.
Be sure to decrease speed and exercise
caution.
3.
Exercise caution when starting or stopping the
machine on slopes.
4.
As the loads become less stable on slopes,
firmly secure the loads with ropes.
5.
As the machine becomes unstable depending
on the condition of the road, keep the load to a
minimum.
6.
As the view is obscured on slopes, keep the
height of the load to a minimum.
Never park the machine on steep slopes. Park
7.
the machine on flat ground, pull the brake
lever and lock the brake, and then turn the
power off.
8.
Do not change the direction or speed mode on
steep slopes.
Do not release the switch trigger on upward
9.
slopes. The machine may go in reverse and
cause an accident.
10. Make sure that the remaining battery capacity
is enough before operating on slopes. If the
remaining battery capacity is not enough,
charge the battery or replace it with a charged
one.
Loading objects
1.
Do not overload objects. When loading
objects, be sure to follow the instructions and
load limits in the manual.
2.
Firmly secure the objects with ropes.
Load the objects within the carrier or bucket.
3.
If the objects protrude from the carrier or bucket,
there is a risk of accidents due to the objects
falling or contact obstacles such as walls.
Be sure that loaded objects are below eye
4.
level. If the load is too high, it is dangerous
because the view is obscured. Also, there is a risk
of overturning and injury because the load is likely
to be unbalanced.
Load the objects on the carrier or bucket
5.
evenly. If the objects are loaded unevenly, there is
a risk of overturning and injury because the load is
likely to be unbalanced.
6.
Before loading the objects or operating the
machine, make sure that the lock lever is fully
pulled down and completely locked.
7.
Be sure to load heavy objects first to keep
balance.
Do not extend the front and side rails on steep
8.
slopes. Extend the side rails when lightweight
objects are loaded.
9.
When extending the front and side rails, do not
extend them over the extension limit. Be sure
to extend the side rails so that the right and
left sides are the same length, and load objects
evenly.
10. Load and unload objects on flat ground.
11.
When lifting and tilting the carrier or bucket,
hold the handles and frame firmly, and work in
a stable posture.
