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 datasheet.
Make sure that the ground is dry with a 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
loaduphill. Without a load, it is recommended to
descend slopesforwards. 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.
Starting on a slope

comes to a standstill.
Return the accelerator to the neutral position, then release the accelerator control button
to apply the parking brake.
To restart, press the accelerator button for the desired direction.
