Komatsu — TRAVELING ON SLOPES

SAFETY TRAVELING ON SLOPES Before traveling up a slope, check the fuel supply so the machine does not run out of fuel while on the slope. And check the brakes to be sure they are locked and in good working condition. On hills or slopes, lower the bucket to a traveling height from 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in.) above the ground. When traveling up a slope with an empty bucket, travel with the bucket directed in an upward position. When traveling up a slope with a loaded bucket, always keep the bucket at least 50 cm (20 in.) above the ground. Never raise the bucket when traveling on a slope.

Remark If the machine should start to tip with the bucket loaded, immediately lower the bucket to the ground to help stabilize the machine and lower the center of gravity. When traveling down a slope or hill with an empty bucket, travel with the bucket facing downward. WB140PS-2N WB150PS-2N 1-17
