Cautions on Traveling on Slopes
WARNING
� Never exceed the machine’s stability
capabilities (maximum gradeability
– 35°, lateral tipping angle – 15°). Also
note that when actual working area
conditions are poor the machine’s
stability capabilities may be lower.
�
When traveling on slopes or grades,
lower the bucket to a height of 20 to
30 cm (8 to 12 in.) off the ground. In
emergencies, lower the bucket to the
ground and stop the machine.
�
When traveling on slopes or grades,
move slowly in site travel gear.
�
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 down slopes in reverse.
�
Do not change directions or cross
slopes sideways. First return to a flat
surface then redirect the machine.
�
On grass, dead leaves, wet metal or
frozen surfaces, the machine may slide
sideways even on very gentle slopes.
Make sure the machine never faces
sideways with respect to the slope.
