WARNING
Hillsides
Operating the machine on hillsides can be dangerous
if proper precautions are not taken. Ground conditions
can be changed by rain, snow, ice etc. Check the site
carefully. Operate in first gear on hillsides, when
applicable, keep all attachments low to the ground.
Never coast down a hill with the engine off or the
transmission in neutral.
INT-2-2-7
The machine can be put in motion in any gear. But do not
over work the engine unnecessarily by using too high a
gear for example, on a hill. Operating in too high a gear will
overheat the torque converter fluid.
When moving the machine, keep it under control at all
times. Stay alert for obstructions and possible hazards.
!M
WARNING
Do not dismount a moving machine.
3-2-3-12
Do not use the pedals as footrests.
Do not coast the machine in neutral, you will not have full
control. Also, coasting the machine will damage the
transmission.
!M
WARNING
Slopes
Always drive a LOADED machine FORWARD UPHILL
and in REVERSE DOWNHILL.
Always drive an UNLOADED machine in REVERSE
UPHILL and FORWARD DOWNHILL.
9-1-3-3
Do not turn on or drive across a slope.
Select the necessary gear before starting down a slope.
Use the same gear you would use to go up the slope. Do
not change gear on the slope.
If the load will be pushing the machine on a downslope,
select first gear (1) before starting downhill.
Use the brake pedal to prevent overspeeding down a
slope.
Approach deep mud in first gear (1) with the front wheels
straight.
Take particular care when reversing. If the machine has
mirrors, make sure your view of the mirrors is not
obstructed. Ensure that the way behind is clear before
reversing. Ensure that the reverse alarm is functioning
correctly and can be heard clearly by people around the
machine.
Note:
Various types of reverse alarm can be installed on
your machine, to suit different operating environments.
There may be local regulations which control the type of
reverse alarm which may be used in particular areas. Make
sure the correct type of reverse alarm is installed on your
machine.
!M
WARNING
Should the machine start to roll over, you can be
crushed if you try to leave the cab. If the machine
starts to roll over, do not try and jump from the cab.
Stay in the cab, with your seat belt fastened.
INT-2-1-12
Limited Slip Differential (LSD)
T2-003
This is an option which can be specified on some
machines to enhance traction in difficult conditions. This is
achieved by transferring a high proportion of the available
driving torque from the spinning wheel to the gripping
wheel. The limited slip differential operates automatically
and should not be confused with differential locks.
Wheel slip is an indication that the limited slip limit has
been reached. On high traction surfaces (concrete etc.)
noise and judder may be experienced when the LSD is
operating, particularly on full steering lock. The level of
noise depends on the weight of the machine, the ground
conditions and steering angles. Noise in the LSD is not an
indication of axle damage.
