Safety Practices

7. Tip Over Hazard
Traveling with the boom raised is dangerous and can cause tipover.
Keep the boom as low as possible. Travel with extreme caution and at
the slowest possible speed.
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.
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 frame sway control (frame tilt)
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 frame sway control, reposition
the vehicle.
Frame swaying left or right with the boom raised above horizontal is
dangerous. Always use the frame sway control to level the vehicle
before raising the boom above horizontal, with or without a load. If the
vehicle cannot be leveled using frame sway control, reposition the
vehicle.
8. Emergency Exit Rear Window
The rear window (1) in the enclosed cab can be used as an emergency
exit by removing the latch pin (2) located on the window latch (3). The
window is then free to swing open.
