Traveling on hills, banks or slopes that are steep could result in the machine tipping over or
slipping.
On hills, banks or slopes, carry the bucket closer to the ground, approximately 20 to 30 cm (8 to
12 in) above the ground. In case of emergency, quickly lower the bucket to the ground to help the
machine stop and prevent it from tipping over.
Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go down to a flat place to perform these
operations.
