OPERATION & MAINTENANCE MANUAL SWE50E/SWE60E/SWE70E/SWE80E9/SWE100
1.3.12 Travel on slope
To prevent machine from tipping over or side
sliding, follow the instructions below.
When travel on slopes, keep working
equipments 20 to 30cm high above ground. In
case of emergency, lower the working device
to ground to help stop the machine.
When traveling uphill, set the cab facing uphill
direction. For downhill, set the cab facing
downhill direction. When traveling, always
check the firmness of the ground in front of
machine.
When traveling uphill, extend the working
device to the front to improve the balance,
keep the working device 20 to 30cm and travel
at low speed.
When traveling downhill, lower the engine
speed, keep the travel lever close to the neutral
position, and travel at low speed.
When traveling on slopes, operate machine
straight up or straight down, steering or
crossing on the slope is very dangerous.
Always descend to a flat area to change
direction, then travel uphill again.
When traveling on grass, fallen leaves or wet
steel plates always travel at low speed because
there is a risk of slip even if traveling on a
slight grade.
In case that engine stops when traveling on a
slope, place control lever to neutral position
immediately, and re-start the engine.
