fig. 18 – a) a) going uphill; b) going downhill
When addressing sloped segments, especially when the machine is loaded, you
must use this particular driving technique (see fig. 18):
Always address the uphill and in the downhill slopes in forward gear;
On high slope ground is necessary to work with high regimen of motor (as the
slope) minimizing the opening of drive levers (see fig. 19); otherwise could be veri-
fy cavitation problems and missing the “engine-brake” effect (the hydraulic mo- tors
are forced by the slope and they function like a pump): if the machine in-
crease the speed “alone”, release the drive levers.
WARNING: Avoid using the machine on a slope with not regular surface.
Use the machine only in conditions of hard ground place and without
stones. Downhill reduce the load by 50%
3.3.5 Stopping Movement
To stop movement one must release the drive levers for the tracks simul-
taneously.
