SAFETY PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident. CHECK WHEN CHANGING DIRECTION To prevent serious injury or death, always do the following before moving the machine or doing the levelling work. Before changing between forward and reverse, reduce speed and stop the machine. Before operating the machine, sound the horn to warn people in the area. Check that there is no one near the machine. Be particularly careful to check behind the machine. When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor visibility, designate a person to direct worksite traffic.
Ensure that no unauthorized person can come within the direction of turning or direction of travel. Always be sure to carry out the above precautions even when the machine is equipped with a backup alarm and mirrors. PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING Never turn the key in the starting switch to the OFF position when travelling. It is dangerous if the engine stops when the machine is travel- ling, because it becomes impossible to operate the steering. A0067200 It is dangerous to look around you when operating. Always concentrate on your work. Travel posture It is dangerous to drive too fast, or to start suddenly, stop sud- denly, turn sharply, or zigzag.
If you find any abnormality in the gauges, vibration, heat, smell, or sound of the machine, move the machine immedi- ately to a safe place and look for the cause.

The work equipment may hit the ground surface and cause the machine to lose its balance, or may damage the machine or structures in the area. When travelling on rough ground, travel at low speed, and avoid sudden changes in direction.
