the correct positions. Make sure all the control levers (or control handles) are easy to use. 

z  Examine the foot brake valve and oil operation valve according to the user manual to make sure 

that they are normal. Check whether the left turning and right turning is smooth at low speed. 

z  Be sure the control lever of the manual brake valve is at rescission of braking state before moving 

forward. 

5 SAFETY DRIVING 

5.1 Warning 

z  The warning light should be turned on to warn the 

other drivers on the road when the machine is 

broken down or operating at a low speed. 

 

 

5.2 Safety of self and Others 

z  Develop good driving habits to ensure everyone’s 

safety. 

z  Sound the horn to ensure safety before moving. 
z  Be sure there are no people or blockage on the left 

and right side. 

z  Check the brakes on dry and firm, level ground. 
 

z  Do not put an arm or foot on the working equipment or extend outside the machine. 

 

 

z  When driving on the level ground, adjust the lower 

hinge of the arm working equipment to 400～

500mm(16～20in) above the ground.

5.3 Full Load Transportation 

z  Do not keep a full bucket in the high position when moving. Select the proper speed with a full 

load during transport. Lower the bucket to contact the tilt block and run with proper height 

(400~500mm above the ground), so that the center of 

gravity can be lowered to insure driving smoothly. 

z  Check the limit lifting weight of the loader. Never 

overload, which may hurt the machine or people. 

Shandong Lingong Construction Machinery Co. Ltd 

assumes no responsibility for overload injury or 

damage to equipment. 

 

 

z  Do not drive, turn or brake suddenly and do not 

detour. 

z  Never suddenly stop or lower the working 

equipment, which may throw out the materials from 

the bucket or cause the loader to turn over. 

 

5.4 Drive at Proper Speeds   

z  Know the characteristics of the loader, and follow the actual conditions in the working area. 

Drive at the proper speed. Select path of drive and method of machining to let the others know. 

z  Keep a low speed so as to maintain control easily at all times. 

z  Never drive fast, turn to brake suddenly on rugged, slippery or oblique ground. 

z  Slow down when passing over rough or rugged ground with blocks around, which may cause 

some problems in controlling the steering wheel. Loader may turn over if operated in the wrong 

way. 

z  Let the engine run smoothly; never drive at high speed. 

5.5 Ensure Good Visibility 

z  Slow the speed and sound the horn if necessary to let others know, and determine the proper 

direction when the visibility is bad or at a narrow crossing. 

z  Sand, dust, fog or storm may affect the visibility. Slow down when visibility is poor. When 

visibility is not good, stop working until the weather cleans.

z  The loader is a special vehicle. Drive carefully when taking long parts which may block the 

visibility. Carefully lift, go forward and backward, 

and shift gears. Never let unauthorized people go 

into the working area or give specific directions. 

z  There may be some illusion about the height of the 

ground and the distance at night, so keep the light on 

and drive at proper speed. 

z  Keep the front and rear headlight and working light 

on when working in dark areas. 

 

5.6 Pay Attention to Blockages 

z  If there are blockages (roof of buildings or the door frame), keep the loader away from the 

blockages when turning or passing. 

z  Notice the environment. Slow down and check whether there are some blockages when turning or 

going through a narrow passageway. 

z  Operate carefully to prevent unstable loads when the ground is uneven and the load is not stable. 
 

5.7 Driving in Dangerous Conditions   

z  Do not operate when you are unsure about the 

environment. Investigate the condition of the road, 

the strength of the bridge, landform of the working 

area and all geologic features before working.   

 
z  Pay attention to the depth that the tires sink and the 

braking effect on muddy or soft ground. 

z  When working in water or swampland, prevent the 

bottom of the axle housing from being soaked. Slow 

down after passing through water or during rain. 

Step on the brake pedal gently and alternately to let 

the skid device dry after working in water or in rain.   

z  The clay piled on the ground or near the canal is 

usually soft. Never aloe a turn over caused by the 

weight of the loader.
