OPERATION
CAUTIONS ON TRAVELING ON SLOPES
• Do not perform any operation on a
slope. The machine may lose its
balance and tip over if the working
equipment is operated on a slope.
• When traveling on a slopes of 15
degrees or more, position the heavier
end of the machine (front or back,
whichever is heavier) pointing up the
slope. Also, be careful not to tip over or
slide.
• Never travel on slopes that are too
steep for the machine to maintain its
stability (maximum gradeability: 30°,
lateral tipping angle: 15°). Note that in
reality, the machine’s stability becomes
lower than the above values depending
on the working condition.
• When traveling on slopes, lower the
bucket to a height of 20 to 30 cm (8 to
12 in.) above the ground. In
emergencies, lower the bucket to the
ground and stop the machine.
• When traveling on slopes or grades,
drive slowly in 1st (low) speed.
Especially on down slopes, slow down
the engine speed and limit the stroke
length of the left control lever to less
than half. Going down a slope at high
speed may lead to loss of control.
• Stopping abruptly on a slope may result
in the machine losing its balance and
tipping over.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
• Do not change directions on slopes or
traverse slopes. First return to a flat
surface, and then take an alternative
path.
• The machine may slip sideways even on
a slight slope if the ground is covered
with grass or dead leaves, or when
traveling on a wet metal plate or frozen
surfaces. Make sure the machine is
never positioned sideways on slopes.
• If the machine is stalled on the slope,
return each control lever to the neutral
position before restarting the engine.
