Avoid Machine Tip Over
Use seat belt at all times. Do not jump if the machine tips.
You will be unlikely to jump clear and the machine may crush you.
Use extra care when dump body is raised.
Machine stability is greatly reduced when dump body is raised. Drive slowly. Avoid sharp turns and uneven ground.
Be careful on slopes and soft, rocky, or frozen ground.
Traction and stability are reduced by slopes and adverse terrain. Avoid piles of dirt and banks or excavations that may cave in and cause the machine to tip or fall.
Do not overload the machine.
Oversize loads reduce machine stability, increase tire flex, and erode travel surfaces. Braking capability and brake life are also reduced.
If machine tips, carefully inspect brake and hydraulic lines, electrical wiring, and machine structure before operating.
