-On steep sloping ground, keep the engine at maximum speed. -When driving at right angles to a slope, turn the attachment toward the lower side of the slope, keeping the bucket close to the ground. -When driving in the same direction as the slope, move onto the slope in job site speed and adjust the travel speed using the travel control lever. Never reduce engine speed when going down slopes. -Holes, obstacles, piles of rubble and other potential sources of danger on the job site can cause serious injury. Inspect and identify all possible risks before operating the machine in a new work area. -When working near overhead high voltage electric lines, you must keep a safe working distance from the lines. The minimum distances to be respected are as follows: -Under 57 000 volts: 3 meters. -Over 57 000 volts: 5 meters.
