[QUOTE="Blaine, post: 1917, member: 250"] 1) Indoor parking is preferable. Keeping things out of the sun, rain, and snow can really help eliminate rust and corrosion. Especially on electrical connections. 2) The jerkiness could be cause by loss of traction or even by the operator slightly moving the levers. How does the hydraulic fluid look? 3) Operating in mud or water can be dangerous if you are near the edge of anything as it will be very easy to slide off. It is also fairly easy to sink a machine. The seals should keep all mud and water out of all critical parts, but it is always a good idea to check fluids for signs of contaminants. 4) I personally think it is hard to tip them when unloaded. Fully loaded with the bucket raised it becomes very easy. The best thing you can do is get to know your machine and you will begin to understand its capabilities and know its limits better. 5) Sever members of this board have recommended and ebay seller who sells quality manuals. Of course there is always the dealer as well. [/QUOTE]
