Operation on slope
Be especially careful for that travelling on the slope will cause
the machine to sideslip or tip-over.
The shovel must be 200-300mm over the ground while the
machine is travelling on the slope. In an emergency, lower the
bucket quickly down to the ground to assist the stop of the ma-
chine.
Do not make a turn on slope, nor traverse on slope. You should
drive the machine down to the flat ground to perform these op-
erations.
When driving down the slope, it is absolutely not to shift gear or
put the gearbox onto Neutral Gear. Not using the braking force
of the engine is dangerous. Put the gearbox onto low speed
gear when the machine begins driving down the slope.
When driving down the slope, it is necessary to use the braking
force of the engine, and travel at lower speed. Use also, if nec-
essary, use the brake pedal to control the travelling speed.
Do not travel at a high speed on grasses, tree leaves or wet
steel plate. If doing so, even a very small slope also make the
machine slip towards one side. Therefore, it is necessary to
travel at a low speed.
The machine shall be right up or down the slope while the ma-
chine is travelling on the slope.
When the machine is travelling on ground, if the engine is
switched off, it is necessary to immediately and completely de-
press the pedal to apply the braking to lower the bucket down to
ground for fixing the machine.
If the machine travels up or down the slope with load, you
should let the bucket face the UP slope direction (i.e., face for-
ward when travelling up, and face backward when travelling
down). If the machine travels on the slope with load on the
bucket, if you let the bucket face the DOWN slope direction, the
machine will have the risk of tipover.
