SAFETY
Precautions when traveling on slopes
When traveling on slopes or grades, be
careful that the machine does not tip (roll)
over or slide.
• Never travel on slopes that are too steep
for the machine to maintain its stability
(maximum gradeability: 35°, lateral tipping
angle: 15°). Note that in reality, the
machine’s stability becomes lower than the
above values depending on the working
condition.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING
• When traveling on slopes or grades, travel
slowly in low gear. When descending a
slope, slow down the engine speed.
• Do not travel at speeds of over 20 km/h
(12.4 mph) on long down slopes. Release
the travel pedal from time to time to protect
the travel motor and ensure travel stability.
• Do not travel downhill in reverse.
• Do not turn on slopes or travel across
slopes. Go down to a flat surface, and then
take an alternative path.
• The machine may slip sideways even on a
slight slope if it is covered with grass or
fallen leaves, or when traveling on wet
meta plates or frozen surfaces. Do not
allow the machine to position sideways to
a slope.
• If the machine is stalled on the slope,
return each operating lever to the neutral
position before restarting the engine.
• When climbing a hill, keep the operator’s
seat facing the hillside. When descending a
hill, keep the operator’s seat facing
downhill. In either case, travel must be
done while paying attention to the ground
in front of the machine.
• When traveling on slopes, lower the bucket
to a height of 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in.)
above the ground. When climbing a steep
slope, extend the hoe attachment to the
front. In emergencies, lower the bucket to
the ground and stop the machine.
