Traveling on Slopes and Inclines
You must exercise additional care if operating on slopes
or inclines. Driving on slopes and inclines can be
dangerous and result in a tipover or loss of load.
WARNING! Do not travel on slopes or inclines with
lift arms elevated. Loss of load or tipover could cause
death or serious injury.
To avoid injury or damage follow these rules:
— Avoid steep slopes and unstable surfaces. If you
must drive on a slope, keep the load low and
proceed with extreme caution. Do not drive across
excessively steep slopes under any circumstances.
Travel straight up and down the slope.
— Avoid turning on inclines and slopes.
— Ascend or descend inclines and slopes with the
“heavy end” of the compact tool carrier on the uphill
side of the slope.
Normally, when not carrying a load, the rear of the
compact tool carrier is the “heavy end.” Normally,
when carrying a load, the front of the compact tool
carrier becomes the “heavy end.”

Lifting and Placing/Emptying the Load
When the load has been transported to the location
where it is to be placed, remember:
— The chosen landing location should be level, both
front to back and side to side.
— While lifting and lowering the load, always make sure
the path of the load is clear of obstacles.
— Approach the landing location slowly with the load as
low as possible.
— Drive as close as possible to the landing location.
— Avoid a sudden stop.
— Place the compact tool carrier in NEUTRAL.
— Lift the load slowly and smoothly.
— After raising the load drive forward slowly to position
where the load will be placed or emptied.
— Place or empty the load.
— Drive backwards slowly to clear the placed or
emptied load.
— Lower the lift arms.
