SAFETY NOTES
PRECAUTIONS DURING USE
Do not cut across slopes. Be careful not to slip !
On slopes go straight up or
down. Cutting across them is
dangerous, Also, do not operate
the side clutch on steep slopes.
Should this be unavoidable,
however, do it quickly and surely,
being careful not to turn in the
opposite direction to the one
desired.
When going down a slope, put
the gearshift lever into the first
forward/reverse gear, and be
sure to use engine brake.
On soft ground, drive at the first
forward/reverse gear. Do not
rapidly accelerate, turn sharply,
or stop.
Drive at a safe speed, adjusting
the speed to the slope of the
land, the surface conditions of
the road, and the weight of the
load. Also, do not drive with an
overloaded bed.
Before crossing a wooden
bridge, etc., confirm that the total
weight of the unit and the load
does not exceed the weight limit
for the bridge, and cross slowly
at a fixed speed. Steel or wooden
plate is slippery. Use extra
caution on such surface or wet
area.
Do not drive on slopes wherever
exists danger that machine may
turnover or fall down.
