Hills
WARNING: Use extreme caution when
traveling on hills, especially when
turning.
See safety decals on page 12.
Traveling across steep hills with the unit fully loaded could
result in tipping over, or a loss of traction for the MH-400
or tow vehicle.
Always travel straight up and down hills—do not travel
sideways or diagonally. When traveling down a hill, do not
exceed the speed at which you can travel up the same hill.
Stopping distance increases when traveling down hills.
WARNING: Reduce the weight of the load
when traveling on steep hills, and avoid
piling the load high.
When using an option, be aware that the MH-400 has only
15 cm (6 in) of ground clearance. When the MH-400
begins to travel up a hill the ground clearance decreases.
Parking
Park the MH-400 on a firm, level surface. Avoid soft
ground because the jack leg could sink and cause the MH-
400 to tip over.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the MH-400
from the tow vehicle on hills, or without
engaging the front jack and rear jack leg.
To rotate the front jack and rear jack leg from a vertical
support position to a traveling horizontal position, pull out
the jack stand support pin and swivel the front jack (pull
out the rear jack leg) and secure it in the horizontal
position.
WARNING: Ensure that the rear jack leg
and the hopper are in the down position.
Put a spacer (such as a piece of wood)
underneath the rear leg when the gap to
the ground exceeds 5 cm (2 in) (Figure 4).
CAUTION: When disconnecting the
MH-400, always block the wheels to
prevent movement.
