Safety Practices
6. Tip Over Hazard
MAINTAIN proper tire pressures at all times. Underpressurized tire(s)
adversely affects vehicle stability. If proper tire pressures are not
maintained, this vehicle can tip over. If a vehicle ever becomes unstable
and starts to tip over:
• BRACE YOURSELF and STAY WITH THE VEHICLE,
• KEEP YOUR SEAT BELT FASTENED,
• HOLD ON FIRMLY and
• LEAN AWAY FROM THE POINT OF IMPACT.
Indecision and trying to escape from a tipping vehicle can result in
death or serious injury.
To ensure proper vehicle stability, check all four tire pressures before
operating the vehicle. Maintain proper tire pressures.
DO NOT exceed the rated lift capacity of the vehicle as structural
damage and unstable conditions will result.
To ensure that the vehicle is positioned in the most stable condition
before operating an attachment:
Use the sway control to level the vehicle. The vehicle is level when the
frame level indicator gauge reaches (0°) zero degrees. If the vehicle
cannot be leveled using the sway control, reposition the vehicle.
Keep the vehicle under control at all times. When negotiating turns,
slow down and turn the steering wheel in a smooth sweeping motion.
Avoid jerky turns, starts or stops. Reduce vehicle speed on rough
ground and slopes.
