INTRODUCTION, SAFETY, PLATES AND DECALS
TRAVELLING UPHILL AND DOWNHILL
During long tracks with remarkable gradient and at
too high speed, you could loose the machine control
and not being able to brake anymore.
Never overcome tracks with a gradient higher than
30° (57,7%). Look for an alternative track with less
gradient.
Never travel on a long downhill track with service
brake continuously engaged. This can cause an
extreme wear to the brake plates, and in the worst
cases, it can cause the breaking of the service
brake.
To avoid that the travel speed becomes too fast dur-
ing travelling downhill, engage the 1st gear.

With remarkable gradients, engage the creep
speed.
Travel only in basic position and ahead, in this case
the flywheel is positioned on the steering axle.
Do not travel across slopes or reverse the machine
across slopes as it could overturn.
Before travelling downhill or uphill engage the 1st
gear.
In this way the braking effect of the travel motor
increases and high speeds, not allowed, are
avoided.
Adjust the travel speed by means of the travel
pedal.

WARNING
Stop the engine if the gradient is higher than 35°,
as the lowering of the lubricating effect of oil on
constructive assemblies causes damages and
wear.
