Safety 2.3 Precautions for operation Methods of using brake z When the machine is traveling, do not rest your foot on the brake pedal. If you travel with your foot resting on the pedal, the brake will always be applied, and this will cause the brakes to overheat and fail. z Do not depress the brake pedal repeatedly if not necessary. z When traveling downhill, use the braking force of the engine. If necessary, use the brake pedal at the same time. Operate carefully on snow z When working on snow or ice-covered surfaces, there is danger of the machine starting to skid even at a very flat angle. For this reason, drive slowly and avoid sudden starts, turns, or stops.
z When driving on hill flanks covered with snow do not brake abruptly to stop the machine. To stop the machine, lower the bucket onto the ground. z The load may vary considerably, depending on the structure of the snow. For this reason, reduce the load and pay atten- tion that the machine does not start to skid. z When traveling on snow-covered roads, always fit tire chains. WA150-5H – VEAM934100 2-23
