[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3986, member: 82"] My owners manual is pretty basic for how to operate a machine, i'm sure i have picked up many bad habits over the few years i have had a skid steer but i haven't come to any harm so far. I have never had any real close calls either, so i must be doing something rite. Just make sure you keep the heaviest end of your machine up hill. So without a load you should back up, with a load you should go forwards to prevent you tipping over backwards. Thats the most important piece of information i have to offer i'm afraid. Tha manual says to shut the machine off when you have to exit for any reason, but seriously who does that? I just idle it back and kick the park brake on lift the seat bar and hop out. The brake will cause the machine to stall if the steering levers get knocked and the machine will not move and the seat bar locks the pedals out. Most manuals really focus on safety and not “how to operate“ as such, you learn that as you go along. Kudagra, i would be interested in a few of those manuals you have too, you never know i may actually learn something. [/QUOTE]
