Machine Operation Information
To prevent injury, make sure that no maintenance work is being performed on the machine or near the machine. Keep the machine under control at all times in order to prevent injury.
Reduce the engine speed when you maneuver the machine in tight quarters or when you break over an incline.
Select the gear range that is necessary before you start the downgrade. Do not change gears when you are going downhill.
When you drive down a grade, use the same gear range that is used for driving up a grade.
- Adjust the operator's seat.
- Fasten the seat belt.
- Raise or lower all attachments enough to clear any obstacles.
