Working On Slopes - jcb JS300 Service Manual

Working on Slopes

The illustrations show a typical model. Your machine may look different to the model shown.
It is dangerous to operate the machine on a slope. Where possible, use a platform or a level cut-out to keep
the machine horizontal when in use. Refer to Figure 160.
If it is necessary to stop on a slope, dig the bucket into the surface of the ground and put blocks under the
tracks. Refer to Figure 161.
When you stop on a steep slope for a long period with the engine running, there is a risk that the oil cannot
circulate around the engine correctly. This can cause damage to the engine. If necessary, stop with the machine
facing down the slope. Refer to Figure 162.
When you drive over ditches or holes, it is safer if the work equipment is used to help the machine.
