Cautions on traveling on slopes
With bucket full
T7A01

With bucket empty
T7A015E
Work should not be performed
on
a slope,
because the stability of the machine can
be adversely affected when operating
the working equipment
and
there
is
the
possibility of the machine tipping over.
When
traveling
on
a slope,
be
cautious of
tipping over or sliding sideways.
When
traveling
on
a slope, position the
heavier end of the machine (front or back,
whichever
is
heavier)
pointing up the slope.
•
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 uphill.
•
When
traveling
on
a slope, lower the
bucket to a height of
20
to
30
cm
(8
to
12
in
.) above the ground, and
in
case of
an
emergency, 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 stroke of
the left control lever to half or
less
before
going down. Goi
ng
down a slope too fast
will
lead
to loss of control.

• Sudden stopping
on
a sloped
road
may
lead
to loss of stability and the machine
could tip over.
T7A0161
• Traveling across
an
inclined surface at
an
angle or traveling straight across
an
inclined surface could result
in
slipping
sideways or tipping over.
Travel
straight
up and down the slope.
•
When
traveling over grass or fallen
leaves, wet
iron
plates or frozen surfaces,
the machine might unexpectedly slide
sideways when
on
even
a slight slope.
Do
not allow the machine to become
positioned across the slope.
Use caution when floating the lift
arms
TBA0051
• Make sure the bucket
is
lowered to the
ground before actuating the lift arms Float
control.
Actuating the Float control when the lift
arms
are
raised will cause the bucket to
fall rapidly and
is
extremely dangerous.
•
Do
not drive the loader forward with the lift
arms
in
Float position.
