Loading objects
CAUTION:
Before loading objects on the
machine, make sure that the machine is turned off
and the brake lever is locked.
CAUTION:
Before loading objects on the
machine, make sure that the dump unit is locked.
CAUTION:
Be sure to load objects within the
carrier or bucket. If objects are sticking out of the
carrier or bucket, they may fall or collapse if they
touch obstacles.
► Fig.39
CAUTION:
Be sure to load objects so that
they are below eye 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.
► Fig.40
CAUTION:
Do not load the objects beyond the
height of the bucket. Loading the objects beyond
the height of the bucket may cause the load to fall or
collapse.
When loading objects on the carrier, secure the objects
with ropes and tie them down to the rope hooks of the
carrier.

When lifting or returning the car-
