Operating techniques – Keep all attachments or pulled loads low to the ground for optimum stability.
Machine systems have limitations on slopes – Slopes can affect the proper function and operation of the various machine systems. These machine systems are needed for machine control on slopes.
Note: Safe operation on steep slopes may require special machine maintenance. Excellent skill of the operator and proper equipment for specific applications are also required. Consult the Operation and Maintenance Manual sections for the proper fluid level requirements and intended machine use.

Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped
SMCS Code: 7000
Before lowering any equipment with the engine stopped, clear the area around the equipment of all personnel. The procedure to use will vary with the type of equipment to be lowered. Keep in mind most systems use a high pressure fluid or air to raise or lower equipment. The procedure will cause high pressure air, hydraulic, or some other media to be released in order to lower the equipment. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and follow the established procedure in the Operation and Maintenance Manual, “Equipment Lowering with Engine Stopped” in the Operation Section of the manual.

Sound Level Information
The operator Equivalent Sound Pressure Level (Leq) is 81 dB(A) when “ANSI/SAE J1166 OCT 98” is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. This is a work cycle sound exposure level. The cab was properly installed and maintained. The test was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed.
Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with an open operator station for extended periods or in a noisy environment. Hearing protection may be needed when the machine is operated with a cab that is not properly maintained or when the doors and windows are open for extended periods or in a noisy environment.
The average exterior sound pressure level is 86 dB(A) when the “SAE J88Feb06 - Constant Speed Moving Test” procedure is used to measure the value for the standard machine. The measurement was conducted under the following conditions: distance of 15 m (49.2 ft) and “the machine moving forward in an intermediate gear ratio”.
The exterior sound power level is 115 dB(A) when the value is measured according to the static pressure test procedures and the conditions that are specified in “ISO 6393:2008”.
Sound Level Information for Machines in European Union Countries and in Countries that Adopt the “European Union Directives”
The static operator sound pressure level is 79 dB(A) when “ISO 6394:2008” is used to measure the value for an enclosed cab. The test was conducted with the cab doors and the cab windows closed. The cab was properly installed and maintained.

Vibration Data for Wheel Scrapers
Information Concerning Hand/Arm Vibration Level
When the machine is operated according to the intended use, the hand/arm vibration of this machine is below 2.5 meter per second squared.
Information Concerning Whole Body Vibration Level
This section provides vibration data and a method for estimating the vibration level for wheel scrapers.
Note: Vibration levels are influenced by many different parameters. Many items are listed below.
