• When travelling on a steep downhill, keep down the speed
using the travelling lever and fuel adjustment dial.
When travelling downhill the inclination of which is 10
degrees or more, place the sprocket (A) at the downhill side
and travel by decreasing the engine speed in the posture as
shown in the right figure.
If the machine travels downhill with the sprocket (A)
placed on the uphill side, the crawler belt tends to be
loosened, causing pitching and jumping.
[BRAKING DURING DOWNHILL TRAVELLING]
When the travelling lever is placed at the neutral position, the brake becomes effective automatically.
[WHEN ENGINE STOPS]
When the engine stops during uphill travelling, place the travelling lever at the neutral position and
stop the machine. Then, start the engine.
[PRECAUTIONS ON SLOPE]
• On a slope, when the slewing operation is performed with the left work equipment operation lever,
slewing may be performed under its own weight even if the engine stops. Never perform slewing
operation.
• Do not perform the opening/closing operation of the slide door during travelling on a slope.
Operating force may change suddenly.
Be sure to keep the slide door in a locked state.
• Pay due attention when performing the opening/closing operation of the slide door with the machine
in a stopped state. The door suddenly opens/closes by the door weight, which is dangerous.
