WX210 - WX240 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 0 - 17
Travelling uphill and downhill
Before starting up the machine, read
through the Owner’s Manual care-
fully.
- Before driving the machine, put it
into neutral position (see Owner’s
Manual).
- Never drive down slopes with a
gradient of more than 30°. Take an
alternative route with lower gradi-
ents.
- Keep the bucket 20 - 30 cm above
the ground on the uphill side while
travelling uphill or downhill.
- If the machine starts to slip or to
lose its stability, lower the bucket
immediately.
- Driving across slopes may cause
the machine to slip or overturn.
- Steering manoeuvres on slopes
may cause the machine to over-
turn.
- Never coast downhill. This may
result in a loss of control over the
vehicle and in severe damage to
property as well as fatal injury.
- Always change to first gear before
the downhill / uphill slope. This in-
creases the brake action of the
travel motor, preventing inadmis-
sibly high travel speeds.
- When working on a slope, the fuel
tank must be topped up as soon as
the fuel indicator lights up.
