SAFETY DRIVE ON SNOW SAFELY Beware of the possibility of slipping or turning over the machine when driving on frozen snow surfaces. • The machine may slip more easily than expected on fro- zen snow surfaces even if the inclination is small. Reduce speed when driving. Avoid fast starts, stops and quick turns. • Road shoulder and/or set-up utilities covered with snow are difficult to locate. Be sure where they are before re- moving snow. • Be sure to use tire chains when driving on snow. • Avoid applying the brake for quick stops on snow. If a quick stop is required, lower the bucket to the ground.

SA-452 052-E02A-0452 TRAVEL ON PUBLIC ROADS SAFELY This machine is not allowed to drive on public loads with the bucket loaded. • Be sure to empty the bucket. • Hold the bucket at mark (A) 400 to 500 mm above the road surface as illustrated. Even though the machine is equipped with the emergency steering system, if the steering function becomes inoper- able during drive operation, press the emergency steering check switch on the right console to activate the emergen- cy steering system. Then, immediately park and stop the machine in a safe location. SA-453 053-E02A-0453 S-12
