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
Overturning hazard!
Before parking the machine, make sure the ground is stable. Plan the worksite so that the ground is
flat, hard, and level.
Failure to comply could result in death or serious injury.
During hillside operations, be extra careful.
• Make sure that the low speed travel is selected.
When digging on a slope, avoid swinging the upperstructure towards the bottom of the slope with the backhoe
bucket full.
• Always keep the travel reduction gears pointing down towards the bottom of the slope.
• Always travel in the same direction as the slope, to prevent the machine from turning over.
