• Avoid driving the machine across a slope.
• Without a load, drive the machine backwards up a slope (operator's seat toward the
top) when climbing, and drive it forward when going down a slope.
• With a load, drive the machine forward up a slope (operator's seat away from the
top) when climbing, and drive it backwards when going down a slope. Be especially
cautious when operating on a slope with a load.
• When driving down a slope, use the steering levers so that the machine travels
down at the minimum speed. Use the engine speed to help keep the machine speed
low.
Loading and Driving with a Load
• The maximum payload for this machine is 24.5kN (2500kg). Do not exceed this
maximum payload under any circumstance.
• Do not operate on a slope steeper than 20 degrees when carrying a load. Do not
carry more than 1250 kg when operating on a slope between 15 and 20 degrees.
• Load cargo in the bucket so the weight is evenly distributed. When carrying a
cargo, strap the cargo to the load deck to prevent the cargo from shifting. Ensure
that cargo does not obstruct the operator's field of view.
• When carrying a load, drive at a reduced speed. Allow a greater distance for
braking.
• Before crossing a bridge or an overpass, make certain that the total combined
weight of the machine, the load and the driver is within the stated weight limit for
the bridge or the overpass. Then, proceed carefully and at a constant speed.
