Caution on a slope
If the engine shuts down on a slope, do not operate the swing func-
tion, since the superstructure may be swung under its own weight
and cause tipping or side slipping.
Be careful when opening or closing the doors on a slope, opera-
tional force may be changed rapidly.
Make sure to keep the doors closed.
When operating up on a slope of 15 or more, position the ma-
chine as illustrated.
If the track shoes slip on a slope, thrust the bucket into the ground,
and pull the arm in to assist the track drive to move the machine
up the slope.
When operating down on a slope of 15 or more, position the ma-
chine as illustrated and travel at low speed.
