PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING ON SLOPE
Pay attention to fuel level
If the fuel level in the fuel tank becomes low when working on slopes, the engine may suck in air because of the
angle of the machine or the swaying of the machine. This makes the engine stop, so be careful not to let the fuel
level in the fuel tank become too low.
When working on slopes with an angle of more than 20 °, if the
fuel level on the fuel gauge enters the red range, add fuel im-
mediately.
(A): Red range
(B): Green range
Pay attention to oil level
 °When operating machine on sloped areas of more than 20 °, fill all appropriate components with oil to H level.
Pay attention to AdBlue/DEF level
Before working on a slope or traveling on a rough ground, check AdBlue/DEF tank and add sufficient amount of
AdBlue/DEF as necessary. If the remaining AdBlue/DEF level becomes low, sudden drop of its level or abnor-
mality in urea SCR system may be detected. If AdBlue/DEF level caution lamp or AdBlue/DEF system caution
lamp lights up in red, move the machine to a level place immediately and add AdBlue/DEF.
Pay attention to engine speed on slopes
Set the fuel control dial to a medium speed or higher position and prevent the travel speed from increasing with
the decelerator pedal and brake pedal.
Pay attention to stall engine on slopes
If the engine stops while working or traveling on a hill, immediately depress the brake pedal to bring the ma-
chine to a complete stop.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING BRAKE
Always depress the decelerator pedal to lower the engine speed before actuating the brakes.
Do not place your foot on the brake pedal during operation unless applying the brake.
The following actions cause premature damage to the brakes, so avoid such operations.
• Apply the brake sharply during travel at high idle.
• Operate the brake while the engine is running at high idle in the 1st speed range (F1 or R1). (Machine is
stalled)
DO NOT OPEN DOOR WHILE OPERATING MACHINE
Always keep the door closed when traveling or performing operations.
If the door is open, there is danger of damage from obstacles or strong vibration.
