[3] CAUTIONS ON UPWARD/DOWNWARD SLOPE • If the machine tilts for “15 degrees” or more forward, backward, left, or right while travelling, the inclination alarm buzzer sounds. When sounding the alarm buzzer, do not travel on the slope of more inclination. The machine may overturn. • Be sure to switch the travelling high-speed switch to the OFF (low speed) position when driving on the slope. Driving on the slope in the high-speed travelling mode may result in overrun on the downward slope. • The slopes inclined for 15 degrees or more presents overturning hazard. Do not travel on these slopes. • Be sure to switch the travelling high-speed switch to the OFF (low speed) position when driving on the slope. The machine may overrun. • Never change the direction on the slope or cross the slope horizontally. Travel safely such as by going down to the level ground and taking a detour. • Operate the acceleration lever and travelling levers to decrease the travelling speed as much as possible when going down the slope. Operating the travelling lever to the NEUTRAL position automatically brakes the machine, but may overrun when going down the slope at high speed. • Direct the machine perpendicular to the slope and the operation position must be uphill side when driving on the slope. • If the engine stops on the slope, return the travelling levers to the NEUTRAL position and start the engine.
