5.12 Operation on Inclines
By design, Rubber Track Loaders are very stable on inclines. Machine weight is
distributed evenly throughout the chassis and the suspended undercarriage track
system provides excellent traction and floatation on nearly all surfaces.
5.13 Shut Down Procedure
1.
Stop, lower and disconnect any work attachments that may be coupled to
the quick attach.
2.
Park the machine in a safe location (on firm and level ground) where it is
protected from the elements and vandals.
3.
Lower the lift arms until they rest on the frame stops.
4.
Reduce engine RPM to a low idle.
5.
Turn the ignition key to the off position to stop the engine.
6.
Remove the safety belt and raise the lap bar (if equipped).
7.
Open the door (if equipped) and exit the machine using 3 points of contact
as described in the starting procedure in this section.

Even with these capabilities, caution should always be exercised while
operating the machine on an incline. Never operate the PT-100 on an
incline in excess of 18°. Do not make sudden changes in direction, move slow-
ly, and always carry loads low to maximize machine stability.
When turning on an incline, back down the hill while slowly turning until the
machine is pointed in the desired direction. Then proceed forward.
