Incorrect use of the truck on slopes places
stress on the traction motor, brakes and
battery.
Be particularly careful near slopes:
Never attempt a slope with a gradient greater
than that specified in the truck’s data sheet.
Make sure that the ground is dry with a
nonslip surface and that the route is clear.
Ascending slopes
Travel up slopes must always be forward, with
the load uphill. Without a load, we recommend
that you ascend slopes forwards.

NOTE
Descending slopes
Travel down slopes must always backwards,
with the load uphill.
Without a load, it is recommended that slopes
are descended forwards. In all cases, travel at
avery low speed and brake very gradually.
In all cases, you must travel at a very low
