CanyCom S300 Operator's Manual page 23

• Avoid driving the machine across a slope.
• Without a load, drive the machine backwards up a slope (operator's seat toward the
top) when climbing, and drive it forward when going down a slope.
• With a load, drive the machine forward up a slope (operator's seat away from the
top) when climbing, and drive it backwards when going down a slope. Be especially
cautious when operating on a slope with a load.
• When driving down a slope, use the drive levers so that the machine travels down at
the minimum speed. Use the engine speed to help keep the machine speed low.
Loading and Driving with a Load
• The maximum payload for this machine is 29.4 kN (3000 kg,6614 lbs). Do not exceed
this maximum payload under any circumstance.
• Do not operate on a slope steeper than 20 degrees when carrying a load. Do not
carry more than 1500 kg (3307 lbs)when operating on a slope between 15 and 20
degrees.
• Load cargo in the bucket so the weight is evenly distributed. When carrying a
cargo, strap the cargo to the bucket to prevent the cargo from shifting. Ensure that
cargo does not obstruct the operator's field of view.
• When carrying a load, drive at a reduced speed. Allow a greater distance for braking.
• Before crossing a bridge or an overpass, make certain that the total combined
weight of the machine, the load and the driver is within the stated weight limit for
the bridge or the overpass. Then, proceed carefully and at a constant speed.
