Traveling On A Hill - New Holland B95C Original Instructions Manual

Traveling on a hill

WARNING
Driving hazard!
Hillside operations can be dangerous. Rain, snow, ice, loose gravel, or soft ground, etc. can change
the ground conditions. You must make a judgment if it is safe to operate your machine on any hillside
or ramp.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Loss of control hazard!
Travel speed should be such that complete control and machine stability is maintained at all times.
Where possible, avoid operating near ditches, embankments and holes. Reduce speed when turning,
crossing slopes, and on rough, slick, or muddy surfaces.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING
Overturning hazard!
Four-wheel drive (4WD) greatly increases traction. Extra caution is needed on slopes. Compared to
two-wheel drive, a 4WD machine maintains traction on steeper slopes, increasing the possibility of
overturning.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
Before you operate the machine on a hill:
• Always put the transmission in a lower gear and test the service brakes.
• Keep engine speed below 2500 RPM
• Keep the machine in gear when traveling down a hill.
• Use caution if you must use the clutch cutout when you maneuver the machine.
• Keep loads centered in front of the machine.
