13. Operating Instructions
2-52
1) Go down slopes at low speed, using the travel levers
and accelerator lever to control your speed.
When going down a slope, drive the machine at low en-
gine speed and position the implement as shown in the
right figure.
2) When climbing a slope, drive the machine with the im-
plement positioned as shown in the right figure.
13-11. Precautions for going up and down a slope
• When traveling on a slope, place the implement
in the direction of travel and raise the bucket 8 to
12 in. (20 to 30 cm) above the ground.
• When driving over obstacles such as foot paths,
hold the implement close to the ground and drive
the machine slowly.
• Never turn on or traverse a slope.
Descend to flat ground to make a course change.
• If the machine is starting to slip or you feel that
the machine is unstable, place the bucket on the
ground and stop the machine at once.
• Recognize that the machine may roll over when
swinging the upperstructure or operating the im-
plement on a slope.
Do not swing the upperstructure toward the down-
ward side of the slope with a load in the bucket.
If swinging is unavoidable, first lay earth on the
slope to maintain the machine as horizontal as
possible, then swing the upperstructure.
• Do not travel on a slope of 20 degrees or more,
as the machine may upset.
