Avoid addressing downhill slopes in forward gear,
refer to the paragraph: “Travelling on Slopes”.

EAR
To allow the machine to back up you must activate
both drive levers, pulling them back simultaneously.
Avoid addressing uphill slopes in reverse gear, especially
with a loaded machine, rather follow the procedure described
in the paragraph: “Travelling on Slopes” .
DANGER: While in reverse gear, always
check to see that there are no obstacles
and/or persons in the vicinity.

RAVELLING ON
S
LOPES
DANGER: Completely avoid working on terrains
that have lateral slopes of more than 10° and
longitudinal slopes of more than 20° to avoid the
possibility
of
overturning
with
serious
consequences for the safety of the operator.
When addressing sloped segments, especially when
the machine is loaded, one must use this particular
technique:
Always address the uphill slopes in forward gear;
Always address the downhill slopes in reverse gear.
fig. 43 – a) going uphill; b) going downhill
On high slope ground is necessary to work with high
regimen of motor (as the slope) minimizing the opening of
drive levers (
see fig. 44
); otherwise could be verify
cavitation problems and missing the “engine-brake” effect
(the hydraulic motors are forced by the slope and they
function like a pump): if the machine increase the speed
“alone”, release the drive levers.
