Driving Hazards on Slopes
To maintain sufficient traction and braking capabilities, travel on slopes as follows:
• When unloaded, the rear of the machine is the “heavy end.” Drive with forks
pointed downhill.
• When loaded, the front of the machine is the “heavy end.” Drive with the forks
pointed uphill.
• For additional travel requirements, refer to the appropriate capacity chart.
• To avoid overspeeding the engine and drivetrain when driving down slopes,
downshift to a lower gear and use the service brake as necessary to maintain a
slow speed.
DO NOT shift into neutral and coast downhill
.
• Avoid excessively steep slopes or unstable surfaces. To avoid tip over
DO NOT
drive across excessively steep slopes under
any
circumstances.
• Avoid turning on a slope. Never engage “inching” or shift to “Neutral” when going
downhill.
•
DO NOT
park on a slope.
