OPERATING YOUR MACHINE
Braking on downhill slopes
When driving down a slope, put
the speed control lever in a low
speed position and fully apply the
engine brake. Run the engine at
medium speed, and to apply the ser-
vice brake, depress the right brake
pedal.
If the speed control lever is not
placed in a proper speed position,
the torque converter oil may
overheat. If it overheats, place the
speed control lever in the next lower
gear speed to lower the oil
temperature.
If the temperature gauge does
not indicate the green range of the
scale even with the lever in the 1 st
speed position, stop the machine,
place the lever in neutral, and run
the engine at medium speed until
the gauge indicates the green range.
If engine stops
If the engine stops on a slope,
depress the right brake pedal fully.
Next, lower the work equipment to
the ground and apply the parking
brake. Then put the directional and
speed control levers in neutral, and
start the engine again. (If the direc-
tional lever is not in neutral, the
engine will not start.)
