[3] CAUTIONS ON UPWARD/DOWNWARD SLOPE
• If the machine tilts for “15 degrees” or more forward, backward, leftward, or rightward while
traveling, the machine may overturn. Do not travel on the slope of more inclination.
• Be sure to switch the traveling high-speed switch to the “OFF” (low speed) position when
driving on the slope. Driving on the slope in the high-speed traveling mode may result in
overrun on the downward slope.
• The slopes inclined for 15 degrees or more presents overturning
hazard. Do not travel on these slopes.
• Be sure to switch the traveling high-speed switch to the “OFF”
(low speed) position when driving on the slope. The machine may
overrun.
• Never change the direction on the slope or cut the slope
horizontally.
Travel safely such as by going down to the level ground and
taking a detour.
• Operate the acceleration pedal and traveling levers to decrease
the traveling speed as much as possible when going down the
slope.
Operating the traveling lever to the “NEUTRAL” position
automatically brakes the machine, but may overrun when going
down the slope at high speed.
• Direct the machine perpendicular to the slope and the operation
seat must be the side of the uphill when driving on the slope.
• If the engine stops on the slope, return the traveling levers to the
“NEUTRAL” position and start the engine.
