Parking
When the load capacity is exceeded, refer to
“American National Standards A.N.S.I. B3014”.
Also, follow the procedures that are listed below:
• Inspect the wire cable for defects prior to the lift
operation
.
• Inspect the wire cable for defects after the lift
operation
.
• Do not exceed the load capacity of the boom.
• The load must be handled safely in order to
minimi
ze tipping effects.
• The lift operation and the inspections must be
made under
controlled conditions by an
authorized person.
Electrical Power Lines
Serious injury or death by electrocution can
result if the machine or attachments are not kept
the proper distance from electrical power lines.
Use the following charts in order to determine the
safe distance from high voltage wires during these
conditions:
• machine operation
• machine transportation

Parking
Park on a level surface. If you must park on a grade,
use blocks to prevent the machine from rolling.
Apply the service brake in order to stop the
machine.
Move the transmission control lever to
NEUTRAL position and move the engine speed
switch to the LOW IDLE position. Engage the
parking brake.
Lower any load to the ground and fully retract the
co
unterweig
ht.
Refer to the tractor's operation and maintenance
manual fo
r the specific procedures regarding engine
shut down and/or other implement attachments.
Slope Operation
Machines that are operating safely in various
applications depend on these criteria: the machine
model, configuration, machine maintenance,
operating speed of the machine, conditions of the
terrain, fluid levels and tire inflation pressures. The
most important criteria are the skill and judgment of
the operator.
A well trained operator that follows the instructions in
t
he Op
eration and Maintenance Manual, has the
greatest impact on stability. Operator training
provides a person with the following abilities:
observation of working and environmental
conditions, feel for the machine, identification of
potential hazards and operating the machine safely
by making appropriate decisions.
When you work on side hills and when you work on
slope
s, co
