Driving on Public Roads

Always check the road and general operating safety of the machine before using.

Operate machine only when all guards are fitted and in their correct position.

Before moving away, always check immediate vicinity of machine (e.g. for children). Ensure adequate visibility.

Always adapt your ground speed to meet the ground conditions. Avoid making sharp turns when driving up or down slopes or when driving across the slope. Always drive a loaded machine Forward Uphill and in Reverse Downhill . Always drive an unloaded machine in Reverse Uphill and Forward Downhill .

Reduce your ground speed when driving the machine on slopes or over uneven ground and before making sharp turns. Before descending a steep hill, shift to a lower gear. Never coast downhill! Keep the boom fully retracted and low to the ground.

Avoid holes, ditches and obstructions which may cause the machine to tip, particularly on hillsides.

Reversing at high speeds can cause accidents. Do not reverse in third or fourth gear with full throttle. Always drive at a safe speed, to suit the conditions.

Never drive near the edge of a gully or steep embankment - it might cave in!
