Operating Precautions
Cautions on traveling on slopes
Work should not be performed on a slope,
because the stability of the machine can
be adversely affected when operating
the working equipment and there is the
possibility of the machine tipping over.
When traveling on a slope, be cautious of
tipping over or sliding sideways.
When traveling on a slope, position the
heavier end of the machine (front or back,
whichever is heavier) pointing up the slope.
When going up or down slopes having a
gradient of 15 degrees or more, travel up
and down slope with the heavy end of the
machine pointed uphill.
When traveling on a slope, lower the
bucket to a height of 20 to 30 cm (8 to
12 in.) above the ground, and in case of
an emergency, lower the bucket to the
ground and stop the machine.
Travel at slow speeds on slopes. Especially
when going down slopes, reduce the
engine (r.p.m.) speed and set the stroke of
the left control lever to half or less before
going down. Going down a slope too fast
will lead to loss of control.
Sudden stopping on a sloped road may
lead to loss of stability and the machine
could tip over.
Traveling across an inclined surface at
an angle or traveling straight across an
inclined surface could result in slipping
sideways or tipping over. Travel straight
up and down the slope.
When traveling over grass or fallen
leaves, wet iron plates or frozen surfaces,
the machine might unexpectedly slide
sideways when on even a slight slope.
Do not allow the machine to become
positioned across the slope.
Use caution when floating the lift
arms
Make sure the bucket is lowered to the
ground before actuating the lift arms Float
control.
Actuating the Float control when the lift
arms are raised will cause the bucket to
fall rapidly and is extremely dangerous.
Do not drive the loader forward with the lift
arms in Float position.
