Why should operators be aware of the TLB's center of gravity?

Operators should be aware of the TLB's center of gravity primarily to prevent tipping and ensure stability. The center of gravity significantly impacts how the machine behaves during operation, especially when performing tasks like lifting, digging, or loading. If the center of gravity shifts too far outside the machine’s base, it increases the risk of tipping over, which can lead to accidents, equipment damage, and personal injury.

Understanding the center of gravity helps operators make informed decisions about how to load materials, how high to lift the equipment, and the safest way to navigate on slopes or uneven terrain. This awareness is crucial for maintaining a safe working environment and using the machine effectively in various applications.
