SAFETY TRAVEL POSITIONS The operator must be seated with the seat belt fastened snugly around the waist. Position the seat so you are comfortable and able to see all areas around you and have easy access to all controls. The illustration to the right shows the proper travel posture for the machine. The backhoe must be fully retracted and locked in place as well as both outriggers. See “BACKHOE LOCKS” on page 1-23. Always keep the bucket at least 50 cm (20 in.) above the ground. A section of the backhoe boom is 1m (3 ft.) above the can- opy. Thus, the section of backhoe above the canopy cannot be seen by the operator when the machine is in the travel posture.
Never shift the transmission into neutral when on a slope or hill. If the machine should lose control or slide on the slope or hill, lower the bucket to the ground immediately to help stabilize the machine. 1-16 WB140PS-2N WB150PS-2N
