  • Check for overhead clearance (i.e., electrical wires, branches, ceilings, and doorways) before driving under any objects and do not contact them.

  • Do not overfill the attachment and always keep the load level when raising the loader arms. Items in the attachment could fall and cause injury.

Slope Safety

  • Operate the machine up and down slopes with the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight distribution changes with attachments. An empty bucket makes the rear of the machine the heavy end, and a full bucket makes the front of the machine the heavy end. Most other attachments make the front of machine the heavy end.

  • Raising the loader arms on a slope affects the stability of the machine. Keep the loader arms in the lowered position when on slopes.

  • Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. Operating the machine on any slope or uneven terrain requires extra caution.

  • Establish your own procedures and rules for operating on slopes. These procedures must include surveying the site to determine which slopes are safe for machine operation. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this survey.

  • Slow down and use extra care on slopes and uneven surfaces. Ground conditions can affect the stability of the machine.

  • Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the machine loses traction, proceed slowly, straight down the slope.

  • Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn slowly and keep the heavy end of the machine uphill.

  • Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.

  • If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a slope, do not do it.

  • Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven surfaces could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide obstacles.

  • Use caution when operating on wet surfaces. Reduced traction could cause sliding.

  • Evaluate the area to ensure that the ground is stable enough to support the machine.

  • Use caution when operating the machine near the following:

     

    • Drop-offs

    • Ditches

    • Embankments

    • Bodies of water

    • Stairwells

    • Loading docks

    • Ramps

    The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Maintain a safe distance between the machine and any hazard.

  • Do not remove or add attachments on a slope.

  • Do not park the machine on a hillside or slope.

    Battery Storage Requirements

    Note: You do not need to remove the batteries from the machine for storage.

    Important: Temperatures outside of this range will damage your batteries.The temperature that the batteries are stored at will affect their long-term life. Storage for long periods of time at high temperatures will reduce the battery life. Store the machine in a cool (not below freezing) location.

    Temperature Requirements for Storage

    Storage ConditionsTemperature Requirement
    Normal storage conditions-20° to 45°C (-12° to 113°F)
    Extreme heat—1 month or less45° to 60°C (113° to 140°F)
    Extreme cold—3 months or less-30° to -20°C (-22° to -12°F)

    • For storage of 1 to 6 months, charge or discharge the batteries to 50%.

      Note: A 50% charge will maximize the battery life more than a 100% charge.

    • For storage of 6 months or more, charge the batteries to 100%.

      Note: This ensures that the batteries do not discharge to below 50% during storage.

    • For storage of 12 months or more, ensure to check the charge every 6 months. If the charge is under 50%, you must charge the batteries to 100%.

    • After charging the batteries, disconnect the battery charger from power. Disconnect the main connector during storage to minimize the discharging of the batteries.

    • If you leave the charger on the machine, it will shut off after the batteries are fully charged and does not turn back on unless the charger is disconnected and reconnected.
