Slope Guidelines
Operating safely on a slope depends upon many factors including:
• distribution of machine weight (can change due to configuration)
• even or rough ground conditions
• potential for ground giving way causing unplanned tilt forward, backward or sideways
• nearness of ditches, ruts, stumps or other obstructions and sudden changes in slope
• speed
• turning
• operator skill
These varying factors make it impractical to specify a maximum safe operating angle in this manual. It is
therefore important for the operator to be aware of these conditions and adjust operation accordingly.
Maximum engine angle is an absolute limits which must never be exceeded. This maximum is stated
below since it is a design limit. These design limits usually exceed the operating limits and must never be
used alone to establish safe operating angle for variable conditions.
Maximum engine lubrication angle: 20°
Tipover. Crushing can cause death or serious injury.
Follow procedure in operator’s manual. Drive cautiously.
To help avoid injury:
• Operate at slow speed when on rough terrain.
• Avoid driving across slopes.
• Never jerk control levers. Use a steady, even motion.
• Always operate from the uphill side of the machine.
• Always drive with attachment low to the ground.
• If tipover occurs, shut engine off if possible.
