OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL STE35SR
When traveling downhill, lower the engine speed, keep the travel lever close to the neutral
position, and travel at low speed. When
walking downhill on a slope with a slope of 15°
or more, as shown in the right figure, place the
driving wheel ① on the downhill side, reduce
the engine speed and walk.
Always travel straight up or down a slope.
Traveling at an angle or across the slope is
extremely dangerous.
Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes.
Always go down to a flat place to change the
position of the machine, then travel on to the
slope again.
Travel on grass, fallen leaves, or wet steel
plates with low speed. Even with slight slopes
there is a hazard that the machine may slip.
If the engine stops when the machine is
traveling on a slope, move the control levers
immediately to the neutral position and start the
engine again.
Operations on Slopes
When working on slopes, there is a hazard that the machine may lose its balance and turn
over when the swing or work equipment are operated. This may lead to serious injury or
property damage, so always provide a stable place when carrying out these operations, and
operate carefully.
Do not swing the work equipment from the
uphill side to the downhill side when the bucket
is loaded. This operation is dangerous, and
may cause the machine to tip over.
If the machine has to be used on a slope, pile
the soil to make a platform (A) that will keep the
machine as horizontal as possible.
Prohibited Operations
Never dig the work face under an overhang. There is a hazard that rocks may fall or that the
overhang may collapse and fall on top of the
machine.
Do not excavate too deeply under the front of
the machine. The ground under the machine
may collapse and cause the machine to fall.
