Cautions on Traveling on Slopes
AwARNING
• Never exceed the machine's stability
capabilities (maximum gradeability
- 30°, 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.
• Travel
at
slow
speeds on slopes.
Especially
when
going
down
slopes,
reduce
the
engine (r.p.m.) speed and
set
the
position
of
the
left control lever
to
half
or
less before going down. Going
down
a slope
too
fast will lead
to
loss
of
control.
• When going
up
or
down
slopes having
a gradient
of
15 degrees
or
more, travel
up
and
down
slope
with
the
heavy end
of
the
machine pointed
up
hill.
• When traveling on a slope, be cautious
of
tipping over
or
sliding sideways.
• Do
not
travel
down
slopes in reverse
(except
for
with
bucket
full).

• 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 is never
sideways
with
respect
to
the
slope.
