5.
On rough, frozen, or uneven terrain, travel slowly.
6.
Travel straight up or down slopes, never diagonally across
the slope. See Figure 17 and Figure 18. Extend the arm
and lower the boom to keep the bucket about 20 - 30 cm (8
- 12 in) off the ground. If the machine starts to slide or
becomes unstable, lower the bucket to regain control. If the
engine stalls, lower the bucket, make sure that all controls
are in the "NEUTRAL" position and restart the engine.
NOTE:
Even though engine stops on a slope, do not
operate swing control. The hydraulic
accumulators can cause the unit to swing.
NOTE:
Do not open or close operator's door on a slope.
Make sure door is latched.

WARNING
AVOID DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY
When traveling, keep bucket (attachment) raised from
20 - 30 cm (8 - 12 in) above the ground. Fasten your
seat belt.
Operator should pay attention when traveling
backward on a slope.
Never turn or travel across a slope.
Travel straight up or down the slope.
Choose a safe alternate route before climbing a slope.
If excavator starts to slip or becomes unstable, lower
the bucket immediately into the ground, using it as a
brake.
Avoid working on slopes, because there is a risk of
roll-over while swinging and performing front
attachment operations.
Do not swing towards bottom of slope with a loaded
bucket.
In unavoidable cases, level the slope with fill soil to
make the machine as horizontal as possible.
See Figure 16.
Do not travel on slopes more than 30° because of risk
of roll-over.
