Always travel straight up or straight down a slope. Traveling at an angle on a slope may cause the machine to tip or possibly roll over. Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go down to a flat place to change the position of the machine then travel on to the slope again. Travel at low speed when traveling on grass, fallen leaves, or wet steel plates. Even with slight slopes, there is a hazard that the machine may slip. When traveling downhill: Travel slowly. Always place the transmission in a low gear before starting to travel. It is dangerous not to use the braking force of the engine.
If necessary, use the braking force of the engine together with the brake pedal to control the travel speed. Never shift gear or place the transmission at neutral. SAFETY Using the Brakes When the machine is traveling, do not rest your foot on the brake pedal. If you travel with your foot resting on the pedal, the brake will always be applied; this will cause the brakes to overheat and fail. Do not depress the brake pedal repeatedly, if not necessary. When traveling downhill, use the braking force of the engine and always use the right brake pedal at the same time. 1-32 WA380-6
