Slope Operation Guidelines
•
Operate up and down slopes with heavy end of unit uphill. Weight distribution changes based on
attachments and load. For example, an empty bucket makes the rear of the unit the heavy end while a
full bucket makes the front of the unit the heavy end. Most Ditch Witch-approved attachments make
the front of the unit the heavy end.
•
Avoid starting, stopping, or turning on slopes. If you must turn, keep the heavy end of the unit uphill.
•
Do not park unit on slope without lowering attachment to the ground and turning ignition switch to
STOP.
EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN:
Turn ignition switch to STOP.
NOTICE:
Keep attachment/load low when operating on a slope. Drive slowly and cautiously at all times.
