ImportantPrecautions
to take to avoid accidents
Notify your service department immediately if maintenance is
required that poses a risk to humans, animals, property and other.
Do not work in the vicinity of the machine while wearing loose
clothing that has the potential of becoming entangled in

any maintenance. Engine must be turned off and the ignition key
removed!
Neveroverllcontainers.Pleaserefertothecarriervehicleload
capacity, i.e. axle load, maximum total weight, Gross Vehicle
Rating. Comply with your state, provincial, local and internal weight
regulations.
Do not attempt maintenance work while machine is running. Engine

jack stands, etc. Refer to your internal lock-out and safe working
procedures.
Weight and the center of gravity changes as the attachments
are mounted and in operation. Check with you carrier vehicle
manufacturer about safe working weight and GVR.
As the center of gravity changes, the vehicle can roll over. Avoid
uneven, wet, icy, slippery ground and road surfaces.

position for transportation and doesn't come in contact with the ground causing damage
to the equipment and/or serious injury or death.
2. Slow down when traveling over rough or hilly terrain that can cause equipment to bounce,
or when obstacles are so close that they can be hit. Either situation can cause the operator
to lose control and result in serious injury or death.
3. When traveling on public roadways, travel in such a way that faster moving vehicles may
passsafely.Useaccessorylights,cleanreectors,andaslowmovingvehiclesignthatis
