2.
When traveling up a steep hill of more than 15°, set the
work equipment to the posture shown in the diagram on
the right.
TRAVELING DOWNHILL
Put the travel lever in the neutral position. This will cause the brake to be automatically applied.
ENGINE STOPPED ON SLOPE
If the engine stops when traveling uphill, move the travel levers to the neutral position, lower the bucket to the
ground, stop the machine, then start the engine again.
CAB DOORS ON SLOPE
• If the engine stops when the machine is on a slope, never use the left work equipment control lever to carry out
swing operations. The upper structure will swing under its own weight.
• Do not open or close the sliding door (cab specifications) on slopes when traveling or operating. The operating
effort may change suddenly.
• Always keep the sliding door locked.
• Take good care when opening or closing the sliding door (the cab specification). There is the danger that it will
likely gain momentum due to its own weight and open or shut suddenly.
