snow shovel.
5.8 Driving safely on the Ramp
z
Turnover or slippage may occur when driving on an abrupt hill, dyke or ramp.
z
The bucket should be 200~300mm above the ground when driving on an abrupt hill, dyke or
ramp. Lower the bucket and touch the ground to help brake or prevent turn over in emergency
conditions.
z
Do not turn on the ramp. Do not drive across the
ramp or change direction which may turn over the
machine until on the level place.
z
Never
turn on the ramp until on the level ground.
Slow down and use a small turning angle when
working on an abrupt hill, dyke or ramp.
z
Go up and down the ramp rather than drive through alleyway or footpath.
z
Choose proper gears before going down the slope and never change the speed during going down
the slopes.
z
Do not suddenly brake on the ramp because the center of gravity is on the front tire or rear tire.
z
Use gear I when driving on the ramp with a full load. Go forward when driving up the ramp, go
backward when driving down the ramp. Never turn around.
z
Brake slowly when driving down the ramp; do not set the gearshift control lever in the position of
the neutral gear
.
z
Go down the ramp slowly;
never
stop the engine.
z
If the engine stops on the ramp (slope is less than 15
°
)
，
step on the brake padel immediately and
lower the bucket to the ground to help brake, use the parking brake, put the gear control lever in
the neutral position, and then restart engine.
z
When driving with a load, the bucket should face
the high direction of the ramp at all times, which
means go up forward and go down backward.
