Operating Precautions
Cautions on traveling on slopes
When traveling on slopes or grades, be
careful that the machine does not tip (roll)
over or slide.
�
Never exceed the machine’s stability
capabilities (maximum gradeability –30°,
lateral tipping angle –15°). Also note that
when actual working area conditions are
poor the machine’s stability capabilities
may be lower.
�
When traveling on slopes or grades,
lower the bucket to a height of 20 to
30 cm (8 to 12 in.) off the ground. In
emergencies, lower the bucket to the
ground and stop the machine.
�
When traveling on slopes or grades,
move slowly in first gear (low speed).
�
Do not travel down slopes in reverse.
�
On grass, dead leaves, wet metal or
frozen surfaces, the machine may slide
sideways even on very gentle slopes.
Make sure the machine never faces
sideways with respect to the slope.
�
Do not change directions or cross slopes
sideways. First return to a flat surface
then redirect the machine.
Operate on snow or ice with extra
care
�
When traveling on snow or frozen
surfaces, keep the machine travel speed
down and avoid accelerating, stopping
or changing directions abruptly.
�
Remember that the road shoulder,
fences, etc., may be buried in the snow
and not visible.
�
Lower the dozer blade when parked on
unsure ground conditions.
