OM 28Z3 US – Edition 2.0 * 28Z3b330.fm 3-19
Operation
Operating on slopes
Proceed as follows to prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping sideways.
☞ When traveling uphill, keep the attachment about 20 – 30 cm (8’’—12’’)above the
ground. In an emergency, lower the attachment immediately to the ground so you can
stop the machine more easily.
☞ Place the cab with the front side upward as you travel uphill, and downward as you
travel downhill. Always check the ground's firmness underneath the front part of the
machine as you drive.
☞ When traveling downhill, extend the attachment to improve stability, and keep it about
20 – 30 cm (8’’—12’’) above the ground. Drive slowly.
☞ Reduce engine speed when traveling downhill. Keep the drive lever next to neutral
position and travel slowly.
☞ Always move straight ahead when traveling uphill or downhill. Traveling diagonally or at
an angle to the slope is very dangerous.
☞ Never change direction on slopes or travel across slopes. Always change position on
level ground before continuing to travel on a slope.
☞ Travel slowly in meadows, on leaves or wet steel plates. The machine can slip even if
the ground is level. If the engine stops as you travel across a slope, immediately put the
control levers to neutral position and start the engine again.
