023-E02A-0518 MACHINE WILL TIP OVER FASTER THAN YOU CAN JUMP FREE FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELT The danger of tipping is always present when oper- ating on a grade, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. To avoid tipping: Be extra careful before operating on a grade. Prepare machine operating area flat. Keep the bucket low to the ground and close to the machine. Reduce operating speeds to avoid tipping or slip- ping. Avoid changing direction when traveling on grades. NEVER attempt to travel across a grade steeper than 5 degrees if crossing the grade is unavoid- able. Reduce swing speed as necessary when swing- ing loads. Be careful when working on frozen ground.

Temperature increases will cause the ground to become soft and make ground travel unstable. SA-463 SA-14
