Safety
WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions

Operate carefully on snow

When working on snow or icy roads, even a slight slope may
cause the machine to slip to the side, so always travel at low
speed and avoid sudden starting, stopping, or turning.
When there has been heavy snow, the road shoulder and
objects placed beside the road are buried in the snow and
cannot be seen, so always carry out snow-clearing opera-
tions carefully.

Working on loose ground

Avoid operating your machine too close to the edge of cliffs,
overhangs, and deep ditches. If these areas collapse, your
machine could fall or tip over and result in serious injury or
death. Remember that the soil after heavy rain or blasting is
weakened in these areas.
Earth laid on the ground and the soil near ditches are loose.
They can collapse under the weight or vibration of your
machine.
Install the HEAD GUARD (FOPS) if working in areas where
there is danger of falling rocks and dirt.

Do not hit the operator cab (for two piece boom only)

When the second boom cylinder is retracted, the bucket or
the attachment can hit the operator cab or chassis.
Operate work equipment slowly and carefully to avoid any
injury and damage.
