PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING ON SLOPES
USE DECELERATOR PEDAL
When stepping on the decelerator pedal while going uphill, climbing ability will be reduced and the machine will
stop. Furthermore, the engine may stall.
USE ENGINE BRAKE
When traveling downhill, move joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) into low speed to run engine at
slow speed and travel down slope using the engine brake.
Do not move the joystick (steering, directional and gear shift lever) to NEUTRAL position.
When traveling down hills of more than 15 °, shift down to 1st speed (R1 or F1).
BRAKE ON DOWNHILL
When traveling downhill with the engine brake applied, use the brake as necessary to prevent overrun. Overrun
can cause a failure.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN OPERATING ON SLOPE
Pay attention to fuel level
If the fuel level in the fuel tank becomes low when working on slopes, the engine may suck in air because of the
angle of the machine or the swaying of the machine. This makes the engine stop, so be careful not to let the fuel
level in the fuel tank become too low.
When working on slopes with an angle of more than 20 °, if the
fuel level on the fuel gauge enters the red range, add fuel im-
mediately.
(A): Red range
(B): Green range
Pay attention to oil level
When operating machine on sloped areas of more than 20 °, fill all appropriate components with oil to H level.
Pay attention to DEF level
Before working on a slope or traveling on a rough ground, check DEF tank and add sufficient amount of DEF as
necessary. If the remaining DEF level becomes low, sudden drop of its level or abnormality in urea SCR system
may be detected. If DEF level caution lamp or DEF system caution lamp lights up in red, move the machine to a
level place immediately and add DEF.
Pay attention to engine speed on slopes
Set the fuel control dial to a medium speed or higher position and prevent the travel speed from increasing with
the decelerator pedal and brake pedal.
Pay attention to stall engine on slopes
If the engine stops while working or traveling on a hill, immediately depress the brake pedal to bring the ma-
chine to a complete stop.
PRECAUTIONS FOR USING BRAKE
Always depress the decelerator pedal to lower the engine speed before actuating the brakes. In an emergency,
immediately depress the brake pedal to stop the machine.
Do not place your foot on the brake pedal during operation unless applying the brake.
The following actions cause premature damage to the brakes, so avoid such operations.
