Operating on Slopes
EARTHMOVING
Operating on a slope is inherently dangerous. It is recom-
mended to level the work area as shown in Figure 3-13. If
this is not possible, use the following guidelines.
• When going down a slope, control the speed with the
travelling levers and the the throttle lever.
• When going down grades that exceed 15°, put the
machine in the position shown in Figure 3-14. Run the
engine slowly.
• Operate as slowly as possible and avoid sudden changes
in direction.
• Avoid travelling over objects such as rocks, trees,
stumps, etc.
• Stop the machine travel before moving the bucket or
dozer controls.
• Slow down the work cycle. Take your time.
• Avoid working with the tracks positioned across the
slope. Position the machine with the blade downhill and
lowered.
• Avoid swinging or extending the bucket farther than nec-
essary in a downhill direction. When you must swing
the bucket downhill, keep the boom low and skid the
bucket along the ground.
• When working with the bucket on the uphill side, keep
the bucket as close to the ground as possible. Unload far
enough away from the trench or hole to prevent the pos-
sibility of a cave-in.
• Mud and water should be removed from the machine
before parking. If possible, park the machine on boards
or concrete to prevent the track or undercarriage from
freezing to the ground and preventing machine move-
ment.
WARNING
Do not travel up or across a slope steeper than
15°. Do not travel down a slope steeper than
25°. Keep boom centered while travelling.
Keep attachments as low as possible when
travelling on slopes or rough terrain.

Operating in Water
• Do not operate or immerse the machine in water higher
than the tracks.
• Properly grease the machine if it has been operated or
immersed in water for a period of time.
IMPORTANT: Never operate machine until fuel tank
is completely empty. If this occurs, the fuel system
will have to be bled of air. Always fill tank after use.
