Using the truck on a slope
NOTE
Incorrect use of the truck on slopes
places stress on the traction motor,
brakes and battery.
Be particularly careful near slopes:
Never attempt a slope with a gradient
greater than that specified in the truck’s
data sheet.
Make sure that the ground is dry with
non-slip surface and that the route is
clear.
Ascending slopes
Always ascend slopes travelling in the
reverse direction, with the load facing
uphill.
Without a load, it is recommend to
ascend slopes forwards.
Descending slopes
Travel down slopes must always be
forwards, with the load uphill.
Without a load, it is recommended to
descend slopes forwards.
In all cases, travel at a very low speed
and brake very gradually.
Risk to life and/or risk of major
equipment damage. Never park the
truck on a slope. Never make a U-turn
or take shortcuts on a slope. On a
slope, the operator must drive very
slowly.
