SAFETY
Cautions on traveling on slopes
When traveling on slopes or grades, be
careful that the machine does not tip (roll)
over or slide.
• Never travel on slopes that are too steep
for the machine to maintain its stability.
Note that in reality, the machine’s
performance decreases on slopes due to
its poor working condition.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING

(de 8 a 12 pulg.)
• When climbing a hill, keep the operator’s
seat facing the hillside. When descending a
hill, keep the operator’s seat facing the
downhill direction. In either case, travel
must be done while paying attention to the
ground in front of the machine.
• When traveling on slopes, lower the bucket
to a height of 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in.)
above the ground. When climbing a steep
slope, extend the hoe attachment to the
front. In emergencies, lower the bucket to
the ground and stop the machine.
• When traveling on slopes or grades, drive
slowly in 1st (low) speed. When
descending a slope, slow down the engine
speed.
• Do not descend slopes in reverse.
• Do not change directions on slopes or
traverse slopes. First return to a flat
surface, and then take an alternative path.
• The machine may slip sideways even on a
slight slope if the ground is covered with
grass or dead leaves, or when traveling on
a wet metal plate or frozen surfaces. Make
sure the machine is never positioned
sideways on slopes.
• If the machine is stalled on the slope,
return each operating lever to the neutral
position before restarting the engine.
