REMOVING SNOW

WARNING: When operating the ride control system
equipped machine with the front attachment control
lever in the float position to perform such works as
soil scooping, land grading, or snow removal, be sure
to turn the ride control switch OFF. Failure to do so
may allow the ride control system to operate so that
the front attachment may automatically move up and
down.
CAUTION: Remove snow in the same method as em-
ployed in general loading work. However, pay atten-
tion to slippage of tires and obstacles covered with
snow.
Precautions for removing snow
• Avoid sudden starting and stopping as well as rapid steer-
ing of the machine.
• Use tire chains on all four wheels.
• Pay attention to the presence of the utility facilities such as
a fire hydrant, a manhole, edge stones, roadside drains, etc.

LIFTING WHEEL LOADER

WARNING: Be sure to use lifting tools (optional) and
set the pilot control shut-off lever in the LOCK posi-
tion. Never allow any person to ride on the machine
to be lifted. Never allow any person to enter below
the lifted machine. Before fully lifting the machine
above the ground, check that the hooks are securely
attached to the machine and the machine is well
balanced while lifting the machine slightly above
the ground. Refer to the "LIFTING MACHINE" in the
TRANSPORTING section.
Lifting work of the machine will become necessary when load-
ing the machine onto a ship or truck for repairing and/or trans-
porting.
