Operating on Slopes
Background
When operating on slopes or hills, special care must be taken to reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the machine.
Procedure
Always operate the machine up and down slopes rather than from side to side. For safe
operation and for protection of the engine, continuous duty use should be restricted to
slopes of 15° (25% grade) or less.
WARNING
Crushing hazard. Never operate the machine sideways on slopes. The
machine may tip or roll over even on stable ground.
► Operate the machine straight up and down slopes.
Surface conditions
Pay attention to changing surface conditions while operating the machine. Adjust speed
and travel direction as necessary to maintain safe operation.
Machine stability and traction may be severely reduced when operating on uneven or
rough terrain, rocky soils, or wet or loosely packed surface material.
The machine may suddenly tip, sink, or fall when moved onto surfaces that have been
newly filled with earth.
