5.15.5 Driving downhill and uphill
When driving up or down steep gradients, the
loading equipment can be used to prevent the
machine tipping over. When driving down a
steep gradient, the loading equipment must
be retracted as far as possible. When driving
up a steep incline it must be extended.
When driving downhill or uphill it is normally
sufficient to lift the loading equipment far
enough to maintain good clearance to the
ground.
Danger of injury due to machine
toppling over and uncontrollable
driving statuses
• Do not traverse a slope. Do not
park the machine on an incline.
• The auto-idling system must be
turned off when driving on in-
clines.
In an emergency: Administer first
aid, seek treatment from a doctor
