3.3.10 TRAVELING ON SLOPES
WARNING
• Turning or operating the work equipment when working
on slopes may cause the machine to lose it balance and
turn over, so avoid such operations.
It is particularly dangerous to swing downhill when the
bucket is loaded.
If such operations have to be carried out, pile soil to
make a platform on the slope so that the machine can be
kept horizontal when operating.
• Do not travel up or down steep slopes. There is danger
that the machine may turn over.
• When traveling, raise the bucket approx. 20 to 30 cm (8
to 12 in) from the ground.
Do not travel downhill in reverse.
• Never turn on slopes or travel across slopes.
Always go down to a flat place to perform these opera-
tions. It may be longer, but it will ensure safety.
• Always operate or travel in such a way that it is possible
to stop safely at any time if the machine slips or be-
comes unstable.
• When traveling uphill, if the shoes slip or it is impossi-
ble to travel uphill using only the force of the tracks, do
not use the pulling force of the arm to help the machine
travel uphill. There is danger that the machine may turn
over.
1.
When traveling down steep hills, use the travel lever and
fuel control lever to keep the travel speed low.
When traveling down a steep hill of more than 15°, set the
work equipment to the posture shown in the diagram on
the right, and lower the engine speed.
NOTE
• When the machine moves downwards, the sprocket (1) must
be positioned on the downward side of the machine.
If the machine moves downward with the sprocket (1) on the
upward side, the tracks tend to loosen and the machine may
slip.
