Driving Hazards on Slopes
To maintain sufficient traction and braking capabilities, travel on slopes as follows:
• When unloaded, drive with forks pointed downhill.
• When loaded, drive with the forks pointed uphill.
• For additional travel requirements, refer to the appropriate capacity chart.
• To avoid overspeeding the engine and drivetrain when driving down
slopes, downshift to a lower gear and use the service brake as necessary to
maintain a slow speed.
DO NOT shift into neutral and coast downhill
.
• Avoid excessively steep slopes or unstable surfaces. To avoid tip over
DO NOT
drive across excessively steep slopes under
