  • Report all accidents involving personnel, building structures, and equipment.
  • If during the machine becomes unsafe to use in any way, report it immediately. Do not use the machine until it has been restored to safe operating condition.
Slope Safety
  • Slopes are a major factor related to loss-of-control and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe injury or death. You are responsible for safe slope operation. Operating the machine on any slope requires extra caution. Before using the machine on a slope, do the following:
    • Review and understand the slope instructions in the manual and on the machine.
    • Evaluate the site conditions of the day to determine if the slope is safe for machine operation. Always use common sense and good judgment when performing this evaluation. Changes in the terrain, such as moisture, can quickly affect the operation of the machine on a slope.
  • Raising the hopper on a slope affects the stability of the machine. Keep the hopper in the lowered and straight position when on slopes.
  • Identify hazards at the base of the slope. Do not operate the machine near drop-offs, ditches, embankments, water or other hazards. The machine could suddenly roll over if a wheel or track goes over the edge or the edge collapses. Keep a safe distance (twice the width of the machine) between the machine and any hazard.
  • Avoid starting, stopping, or turning the machine on a slope. Avoid making sudden changes in speed or direction; turn slowly and gradually.
  • Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual. Do not make sudden changes in speed or direction.
  • Do not operate the machine under any conditions where traction, steering, or stability is in question. Be aware that operating the machine on wet grass, across slopes or downhill may cause the machine to lose traction. Loss of traction to the wheels or tracks may result in sliding and a loss of braking and steering. The machine can slide even if the wheels or tracks are stopped.
  • Remove or mark obstacles such as ditches, holes, ruts, bumps, rocks or other hidden hazards. Tall grass can hide obstacles. Uneven terrain could overturn the machine.
