Preventing machine tip over:

Preventing machine tip over:

• Avoid crossing steep slopes such as ditches or stream banks.
• Avoid sharp turns and reduce speeds when turning.
• Use slower speeds over rough ground.
• Balance loads so weight is evenly distributed and load is stable.
• Lower the load bucket for travel to aid in visibility and to lower the machine’s center of gravity.
• Do not overload the bucket. Exceeding that capacity with a lifted load can result in forward or sideways tipping of the machine.
• When moving up a slope keep the heaviest weight up the hill.
  • With an empty bucket, back up the hill/slope.
  • With a full bucket, drive forward up the hill/slope
