machine at a low speed. The machine must move straight up and down when traveling on
the slope.
When the machine travels downhill, never shift gear or place the gear in a “neutral”
position. It is dangerous not to use the braking force of the engine. When the machine
begins to travel downhill, the gear has to be placed in a “low” position.
When the machine travels downhill, the braking force of the engine has to be used so that
the machine travels at a low speed. If necessary, when the braking force of the engine is
used, the braking pedal is also used to control the travelling speed.
If the engine stops during traveling on the slope, immediately step full brake pedal to exert
braking, lower bucket down to the ground, and then use parking brake to fix machine’s
present position.
If the bucket is loaded when ascending or descending, you should make the bucket
toward uphill direction (that is, forward for uphill traveling, backward for downhill traveling).
Otherwise, the machine may have a risk of tip-over.
Keep a clearance of 20-30cm from the bucket to
the ground when traveling on the slope.
Do not turn direction or walk transversely on the
slope, to complete this operation, the machine
should be driven down to the even ground.
