GOING UPWARD SLOPE OR DOWNWARD SLOPE
Never turn or go across on a slope. Go down to a flat space and take a detour-route for safety.
When traveling, keep the bucket at a height of 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 inch) above the ground. Do
not go downward slope with the reverse travel.
When the machine becomes slipped or unstable, immediately lower the bucket and put on the brake.
There is a risk of the machine losing the balance to tip/roll over during swinging when operating on
a slope. It is dangerous to swing downhill with the bucket filled with soil. Make an embankment for the
machine to be as level as possible to swing on a slope.
The traveling up and down on a slope of 30 degree or more is not allowed because there is a risk
of tipping/rolling over.
When parking on a slope is unavoidable, be sure to lower the bucket to the ground and chock the
crawlers.
Downward slope/Upward slope
1.
The maximum gradeability of this machine is 58% (30 degrees).
2.
Operate the travel levers slowly when going downhill.
3.
Use the low (1st) speed when going downhill and uphill.
4.
When traveling on a slope, keep the bucket at a height of 30 to 40 cm (12 to 16 inch) above the
ground and the low speed.
5.
When the engine was stalled, put down the bucket on the ground and return every lever to the
neutral position, and then start the engine again.
6.
When the machine cannot go uphill with the crawlers (travel motor) due to slip of the shoes, you
can pull the arm to utilize the machine power for assistance.
7.
When parking or stopping the machine on a slope, be sure to lower bucket (2) and dozer (3) to
the ground even if it is a short time, set all levers to the "neutral position", set the pilot control
shut-off lever to the "LOCKED" position, and then chock crawlers (1).
