It is dangerous to work on the soft, uneven or
cracked road, and may cause the machine
crashed. It is also dangerous to walk with
imbalanced load and non-load.
1.5.9 PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELING ON THE SLOPE
Be careful that the machine may dump or skid to one side when traveling on the slope.
Keep a clearance of 200-300mm from the bucket to the ground when traveling on the
slope.
When an emergency happens, lower the bucket to the ground to help to stop the machine.
Do not turn direction or walk transversely on the slope, to complete this operation, the
machine shall be driven to the even ground.
Do not travel on grass, fallen leaves or wet steel plate surface at a high speed, because
even a small slope may cause the machine to skid to one side. Therefore, it is required to
drive machine at a low speed. The machine must straight up and down when traveling on
the slope.
Place the gear in a “low” position when the machine travels downhill. Never shift gear or
place the gear in a “neutral” position, but use engine for braking to control traveling speed.
If necessary, brake pedal may also be used to control traveling speed. Otherwise, danger
may occur.
If the engine stops during traveling on the slope, immediately step full brake pedal to exert
braking, lower bucket down to the ground, and then use parking brake to fix machine’s
present position.
If the bucket is loaded when ascending or descending, you shall make the bucket toward
uphill direction (that is, forward for uphill traveling, backward for downhill traveling).
Otherwise, the machine may have a risk of tip-over.
