WARNING

Do not allow personnel to perform maintenance on front loader or backhoe with buckets loaded and

raised. Personnel outside vehicle must stand clear of implements whenever operator is near controls of

either backhoe or front loader. Failure to do so could result in personal injury.

WARNING

Lower load to ground if one of the stabilizers is raised above ground or there is any indication that

stability of vehicle is reduced. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

WARNING

Never carry load greater than rated capacity 4,000 lb (2216 kg) of vehicle/forklift combination. To do so

could cause personal injury.

WARNING

Rotate load slowly in elevated positions. Rotating too fast will cause vehicle instability and possible

loss of load and injury to personnel.

WARNING

Never leave vehicle unattended without lowering load, setting hand brake, and stopping engine. To do

so could result in personal injury.

WARNING

Do not turn on incline. Always back down ramps or inclines when possible with backhoe in unstowed

center position. Driving forward with load, down ramp or down incline, will reduce vehicle stability and

cause possible injury to personnel.

WARNING

Use ground guide during night operations over cross country or rough terrain when night vision goggles

are used. Wearing goggles, operator can miss undulations in terrain, causing damage to equipment or

injury to personnel.

WARNING

At work site, park vehicle with grade. When cross-grade parking is necessary, restrict load to

compensate for increased tipping risk. Failure to do so could result in severe personal injury.

WARNING

Perform all stowage procedures using driver's side controls to prevent possible personal injury.
