PRECAUTIONS IN TRAVELLING ON SLOPE
• Be careful of tripping and skids when travelling
over slope.
• When the machine is inclined at 15 degrees or more
by slope, the inclination alarm operates and the
buzzer sounds. When the buzzer sounds, do not
travel any further and stop. Then, move to a safe
place and change the direction.
• When travelling on a hill, be sure to take the
travelling posture in which the hook block is
stowed in the normal stowage position in the front
of the revolving super structure. The hook block
which is stowed in the simple stowage position at
the boom tip may be loosened during travelling.
Refer to the descriptions under “Operation 3.6
Machine Travelling Posture” for the travelling
posture of the Machine.
• On a hill the inclination of which is 10 degrees or
more, travel uphill in backward movement and
travel downhill in forward movement. Always travel
so that the front of the machine faces the valley
side. Climbing the slope in the forward direction
and going downhill in the reverse direction cause
the Machine to be unstable, giving rise to the risk of
tumbling or lateral skidding.
• When travelling on a slope, face the machine
perpendicular to the slant face and never change
the direction or travel transversely. Practice safe
travelling by for instance lowering to the plain land
and divert.
• Always keep such condition during running that the
Machine can stop any time when it slips or
becomes unstable.
• When descending steep slopes, keep the speed low using
the travelling lever and accelerator pedal.
When travelling downhill the inclination of which is 10
degrees or more, place the sprocket (A) at the downhill
side and travel by decreasing the engine speed in the
posture as shown in the right figure.
NOTES
Travel downhill with the sprocket (A) placed on the
downhill side. If the machine travels downhill with the
sprocket (A) placed on the uphill side, the crawler belt
tends to be loosened, causing pitch jump.
