SAFETY Avoiding Dangerous Situations Avoid traveling with the bucket raised. Raising the bucket raises the center of gravity on the machine. Traveling with a raised bucket, especially a loaded bucket, may result in loss of control or a rollover situation. Never raise the bucket unless the machine is stopped. When the bucket is raised and loaded, never make sharp turns or start or stop the machine suddenly. This may cause the machine to tip forward. Always handle unstable loads carefully. Avoid tipping the bucket back or raising the load too high. Be sure to operate the work equipment carefully and keep the load as close to the ground as possible.
Do not use the bucket or lift arms as a crane. The object you are lifting may swing or shift causing the machine to tip, sway, or possibly roll over. 1-26 WA380-6
