SAFE LOADlNG OPERATlON

You should understand the capabilities and COnStruCtion of the wheel10ader to operateit Safely．

AwARN［NG

The operator mustfasten his seat beItifthe Wheel10aderi＄equipped with a ROPS（RoIL－ Over－Protective－Structure）canopyora ROPS Cab；Otherwise，if the10ader turns over，the OPeratOr might be thrown out and，in the WOrSt Ca＄e，the operator can be cru＄hed by the10ader causlng ＄eVerelnJury Or eVen death．

Al10f theloader’s functions can be relatively easllycontroLledwiththe10adhand［ing］ever，but theloader can be very dangerousif you fai］to usepropercaution．Youshouldbearin mindthat the bucketorattachmentis heavyand hard and thattheywillsometimes hinderyourviewofthe areainfrontofyou．Beforestartinganoperation， make sure thereis no one neartheworkarea．

Do not try to modify the ROPS canopy or ROPS cab without pr［Or Permission from the manufacturer．Useonlythe ROPScanopyor ROPS cab approved by us．暮f theloader turned over，be sure to rep［ace the ROPS canopy or ROPS cab with a new one before Puttingthe10aderin＄erViceagain・
