Loading objects
CAUTION:
Before loading objects on the
machine, make sure that the machine is turned off
and the brake lever is locked.
CAUTION:
Before loading objects on the
machine, make sure that the dump unit is locked.
CAUTION:
Be sure to load objects within the
carrier, bucket, or flat bucket. If objects are sticking
out of the carrier, bucket, or flat bucket, they may fall
or collapse if they touch obstacles.
► Fig.55
CAUTION:
Be sure to load objects so that
they are below eye level. If the load is too high, it is
dangerous because the view is obscured. Also, there
is a risk of overturning and injury because the load is
likely to be unbalanced.
► Fig.56
CAUTION:
Do not load the objects beyond
the height of the bucket or flat bucket. Loading the
objects beyond the height of the bucket or flat bucket
may cause the load to fall or collapse.
When loading objects on the carrier, secure the objects with
ropes and tie them down to the rope hooks of the carrier.
