SAFETY PRECAUTION DURING OPERATION WARNING: Failure to follow these safety precautions may lead to a serious accident. PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING q Fold in the work equipment as shown in the diagram, and keep it at a height of 40-50 cm from the ground level before starting to travel. q Before travelling on public roads, fully raise dozer blade and outriggers, lock the outriggers in position with the safety pin, lock the bucket and arm cylinder with isolation valves, and insert swing lock pin. For details, see "TRAVELLING ON PUBLIC HIGHWAY (220)" q When travelling on public roads the safety lock lever should be down (UNLOCKED) and lock lever switch engaged.

This prevents operation of the control levers. q When travelling on rough ground, travel at low speed, and avoid sudden changes in direction. q Avoid travelling over obstacles as far as possible. If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the work equip- ment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low speed. Never travel over obstacles which make the machine tilt strongly (10° or more). TRAVELLING ON SLOPES q Travelling on hills, banks or slopes that are steep could result in the machine tipping over or slipping. q On hills, banks or slopes, carry the bucket closer to the ground, approximately 20 to 30 cm above the ground.

In case of emergency, quickly lower the bucket to the ground to help the machine stop and prevent it from tipping over. q Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go down to a flat place to perform these operations. Method of travelling on slopes, see "RECOMMENDA- TIONS FOR TRAVELLING (232)" PW200-7H/PW220-7H VEAM370101 31 40 - 50cm INCORRECT Down hill Uphill
