Traveling on Slopes
Never jump onto a machine that is running away to stop it. There
is a danger of serious injury.
Traveling on slopes could result in the machine tipping over or
slipping.
On hills, bank
s or slopes, carry the bucket
approximately 20 - 30
cm (8 - 12 in) above the ground. In case of an emergency,
quickly lo
wer the bucket to the ground to help stop the machine.
Do not travel on grass, fallen leaves, or wet steel plates. Even
slight slop
es can cause the machine to slip to the side, so travel
at low speed and make sure that the machine is always traveling
directly up or down the slope.
Avoid changing travel direction on a s
lope. This could result in
tipping or sideslipping of the machine.
When possible, operate the machine up
slopes and downslopes.
Avoid operating the machine across the slope, when possible.
