AWARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident. 7. PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION - VISIBILITY l Turn ON the head lamps and working lamp, when working at night or at dark sites. Pro- vide additional lights for the worksite if necessary. l If visibility is diminished by fog, snow or rain, stop operation. Wait until there is adequ- ate visibility for safe operation. l Snow-covered and frozen ground may allow the machine to slip sideways, even if the grade is not steep. Slow down the machine when traveling on such ground. Avoid rapid starts, stops, and steering.
l In snow removal work, pay special attention to the edge of the road and to objects under the snow. PREVENTION 0 l When operating in tunnels, under bridges, under electric wires, or other places where the height is limited, be extremely careful not to let the work equipment hit anything. Avoid operating your machine too close to the edge of cliffs, overhangs, and deep dit- ches. If these areas collapse, your machine could fall or tip over and result in serious in- jury 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.
l Install the HEAD GUARD if working in areas where there is danger of falling rocks and dirt. l When working in places where there is danger of falling rocks or danger of the machine turning over, install ROPS and a seat belt. I-II
