Precautions When Traveling on an
Incline
WARNING
• Operating the machine on an incline may cause
the machine to become unstable.
• Use caution when operating the machine on
inclines and use a lower engine speed.
• Operate the machine slowly and monitor
machine movement.
• Do not travel on an incline with the bucket loaded
or with a lifted load.
• Do not swing a loaded bucket toward the
downhill direction.
• Build a platform on an incline so the machine can
be operated on a level surface.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE!
The engine may be damaged if the machine is
operated on an incline more than 25°.
Tipping over may result if the machine is on uneven
ground or on a slope. To avoid such accidents, follow the
instructions when the machine is operated on uneven
ground or on a slope:
• Keep the engine running at a low speed.
• Choose low-speed travel mode. See “Home Screen”
on page 3-5.
• Operate slowly and observe the motion of the
machine.
• Do not attempt to travel on a slope with the bucket
loaded or with a load lifted.
• Never attempt to travel up or down a slope with a
grade greater than 30°. Never attempt to cross a
slope with a grade greater than 15°.
• Always keep the seat belt fastened.
• Point the bucket toward the traveling direction and 
8 in.–12 in. (20 cm–30 cm) off the ground. Travel at
low speed.
• Do not attempt to change direction on a slope. Only
perform a direction change on an even and solid
surface.
• If the engine stalls on a slope, see “Engine Stalls on
an Incline” on page 4-25.
• Before traveling up a steep slope, allow the machine
to warm up sufficiently so it can perform well.
• Avoid crossing inclines as much as possible.
Slipping or rolling over may occur.

• Do not swing (1) the upper structure on a slope. Do
not swing the upper structure to the downhill
direction; the machine may tip over. If such an
operation is necessary, swing the upper structure
and the boom with great care.
• Build a platform (2) on an incline so the machine can
be operated on a level surface.

Figure 4-56
• When traveling down a grade greater than 15°, the
work equipment should be positioned in front of the
cab. Keep the boom-arm angle between 90° and
110° (3) and the bucket 8 in.–12 in. (20 cm–30 cm)
(4) above the ground. Travel at a low speed.
