Do not leave or return to the opera When carrying out dumping opera carried out with the machine articula ted, the stability of the machine will be reduced and t here is danger that it may tip over. When the dump body is raised, the center of gravity of the machine moves continuously. At this time, if the g round is soft, the stability of the machine changes. Take care. Take care particularly when dumpin g sticky material (wet clay, frozen material, etc.) on a soft ground. The st ability of the machine is reduced and ther e is danger that it may tip over.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING When using the machine, to preven t the machine from overturning due to overloadingan d to avoid damage to the dump body, do not exceed the per formance or maximum load specified for the machin e structure. re the height is limited, When operating in tunnels, or und er bridges or electric wires, or in other places whe operate slowly and be extremely c areful not to let the dump body contact anything. To prevent accidents caused by hi tting other objects, always operate the machine at a speed which is sa fe for operation, particular in confined sp aces, indoors, and in places where there are other m achines.

Shift down to u se the engine brake and carry out double braking (depress the brake pedal several times) to s top the machine. When the loaded materials in the d ump body are frozen, do not dump. There is a dange r that the machine could tip over.
