6.16.7 Uphill
Always drive straight forward uphill and avoid hilly slopes!
CAUTION
When driving uphill, the centre of gravity of the payload
is shifted backwards, exerting a lifting force on the front
carriage. If the machine is angled severely in this
situation, it can tip over..
Fig. 109 Driving uphill
The machine handles very steep slopes uphill. How steep
is a question of traction and size of payload. Use the first
gear if you are climbing a steep slope. Turn down the
Speed Potentiometer setting enough to keep the diesel
engine at high revs without being overstressed. Always
use anti-skid chains if the ground is steep, soft, wet or
slippery. It’s important to ensure the grip of the wheels!
When driving empty or loading uphill it’s an advantage to
turn the machine around and reverse uphill. Then you will
utilise the larger weight of the front carriage and the
engine, as this now is positioned at the lower end and thus
presses the wheels down creating better grip.
NOTICE
The engine can cope with a 37° slope. If the engine has
no oil, it will move into idle mode.
