SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS FOR OPERATION
TRAVELING ON SLOPES
To prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping to the side, always do as follows.
Keep the work equipment approx. 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) above
the ground. In case of emergency, lower the work equipment to
the ground immediately to help stop the machine.
When travel up slopes, set the operator's cab facing uphill, when
travel down slopes, set the operator's cab facing downhill.
Always check the firmness of the ground under the front of the
machine when traveling.
When traveling up a steep slope, extend the work equipment to
the front to improve the balance, keep the work equipment
approximately 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) above the ground, and
travel at low speed.
When traveling downhill, lower the engine speed, keep the travel lever close to the neutral position, and travel at
low speed.
Always travel straight up or down a slope. Traveling at an angle
or across the slope is extremely dangerous.
Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go down
to a flat place to change the position of the machine, then travel
on to the slope again.
Do not travel on a slope covered with the steel plates. Even with slight slopes there is a hazard that the machine
may slip.
Travel on grass or fallen leaves with low speed. Even with slight slopes there is a hazard that the machine may
slip.
If the engine stops when the machine is traveling on a slope, move the control levers immediately to the neutral
position and start the engine again.
