or slopes exceeding the angles recommended
in the Stability Data section in Specifications,
page 17, and those in the attachment Operator's
Manual See also the Slope Chart, page 8.
• Operate up and down slopes with the
heavy end of the traction unit uphill.

the traction unit the heavy end. Most other
attachments will make the front of traction
unit the heavy end.
