MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS OPERATION

2. When traveling up a steep hill of more than 15°, set the
work equipment to the posture shown in the diagram on
the right.
Traveling Downhill
Put the travel lever in the neutral position. This will cause the brake to be automatically applied.
Engine Stopped on Slope
q If the engine stops when traveling uphill, move the travel levers to the neutral position, lower the bucket to the
ground, stop the machine, then start the engine again.
q An accumulator is provided in the operation control circuit. For this reason, the work equipment can go down
of its own weight for some time after the engine has stopped, if the work equipment control lever is put to the
LOWER position.
For more details, see “ACCUMULATOR (3-148)“.
Cab Doors on Slope
q If the engine stops when the machine is on a slope, never use the left work equipment control lever to carry
out swing operations. The upper structure will swing under its own weight.
q Do not open or close the door when the machine is on a slope. The operating effort may suddenly change.
Always keep the door locked in position when it is open and when it is closed.
