Traveling on an Incline
Precautions When Traveling on an Incline
Tipping over may result if the machine is on uneven ground or on a slope. To avoid such accidents, follow these
instructions when the machine is operated on uneven ground or on a slope:
•
Keep the engine running at low idle.
•
Choose low-speed travel mode.
•
Operate slowly and observe the motion of the machine.
•
Do not attempt to travel on a slope with the bucket loaded or with a load lifted.
•
Never attempt to travel up or down a grade greater than 30°. Never attempt to cross a slope with a grade
greater than 15°.
•
Always keep the seat belt fastened.
•
Keep the bucket pointed toward the traveling direction and 8 in.–12 in. (20 cm–30 cm) off the ground.
Travel at low speed.
•
Do not attempt to change direction on a slope or the machine may slip and tip over. Only change direction
on an even and solid surface.
•
If the engine stalls on a slope, lower the bucket to the ground immediately, neutralize all control levers, and
restart the engine.
•
Before traveling up a steep slope, allow the machine to warm up sufficiently so it can perform properly.
WARNING!
• Operating on an incline may cause the machine to become unstable.
• Use caution when operating the machine on inclines, and use a lower engine speed.
• Operate the machine slowly and monitor its movement.
• Do not travel on an incline with the bucket loaded or with a lifted load.
• Do not swing a loaded bucket toward the downhill direction.
• Build a platform on an incline so the machine can operate on a level surface.
Failure to follow these warnings could result in death or serious injury.
NOTICE!
The engine may be damaged if the machine is operated on an incline of more than 25°.
