BEFORE GO TO THE REVERSE MOTION OR SWING, BE SURE THAT
NOBODY IS AROUND THE WORKING ZONE
•In dangerous zone o where there is incomplete view, put always a signal.

MOTION PRECAUTION
•Travel with the dozer blade folded as shown on the diagram and the bucket raised 40 ÷ 50 cm. from the ground.
•Do not slew (swing) while travelling. If you must operate the hoe attachment while travelling, operate at speeds slow enough so you have complete control at all times.
•On uneven ground, travel at low speed and avoid accelerating, stopping or changing directions abruptly.
•Avoid crossing over obstacles whenever possible. If you must do so, keep the hoe attachment close to the ground and travel slowly. Never cross obstacles if they will seriously tilt the machine (to an angle of 10° or greater).
