OPERATION
CAUTIONS ON TRAVELING ON SLOPES
• Never travel on slopes that are too
steep for the machine to maintain its
stability. Note that in reality, the
machine’s performance decreases on
slopes due to its poor working
condition.
• When traveling on slopes, lower the
bucket to a height of 20 to 30 cm (8 to
12 in.) above the ground. When climbing
a steep slope, extend the hoe
attachment to the front. In emergencies,
lower the bucket to the ground and stop
the machine.
• When traveling on slopes or grades,
drive slowly in 1st (low) speed.
• When climbing a hill, keep the
operator’s seat facing the hillside. When
descending a hill, keep the operator’s
seat facing the downhill direction. In
either case, travel must be done while
paying attention to the ground in front
of the machine.
• Do not descend slopes in reverse.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
• Do not change directions on slopes or
traverse slopes. First return to a flat
surface, and then take an alternative
path.
• The machine may slip sideways even on
a slight slope if they are covered with
grass or dead leaves, or when traveling
on a wet metal plate or frozen surfaces.
Do not allow the machine to position
sideways to slopes.
Traveling posture on slopes
Climbing slopes
When climbing slopes of 15° or more,
maintain the machine posture as shown in
the figure above.
Descending slopes
When descending slopes of 15° or more,
slow down the engine speed and maintain
the machine posture as shown in the figure
above.
