SAFETY
TRAVELING ON SLOPES
To prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping to the
side, always do as follows.
Keep the work equipment approx. 20 to 30 cm (8-12 inches)
above the ground. In case of emergency, lower the work
equipment to the ground immediately to help stop the
machine.
When travel up slopes, set the operator's cab facing uphill,
when travel down slopes, set the operator's cab facing
downhill. Always check the firmness of the ground under the
front of the machine when traveling.
When traveling up a steep slope, extend the work equip-
ment to the front to improve the balance, keep the work
equipment approximately 20 to 30 cm (8-12 inches) above
the ground, and travel at low speed.
When traveling downhill, lower the engine speed, keep the
travel lever close to the neutral position, and travel at low
speed.
Always travel straight up or down a slope. Traveling at an
angle or across the slope is extremely dangerous.
Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go
down to a flat place to change the position of the machine,
then travel on to the slope again.
Travel on grass, fallen leaves, or wet steel plates with low
speed. Even with slight slopes there is a hazard that the
machine may slip.
If the engine stops when the machine is traveling on a
slope, move the control levers immediately to the neutral
position and start the engine again.
