and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death.
•Survey the site to determine which slopes are
safe for operating the machine and establish your
own procedures and rules for operating on those
slopes. Always use common sense and good
judgment when performing this survey .
•If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a
slope, do not do it.
•Keep all movement on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not suddenly change the speed or direction of
the machine.
•A void operating the machine on wet terrain. T ires
may lose traction. A rollover can occur before the
tires lose traction.

•If possible, avoid turning the machine and use
extreme caution on slopes, ramps, or inclines.
T ravel straight up and down a slope.
•If you begin to lose momentum while climbing a
slope, gradually engage the brakes and slowly
reverse the machine straight down the slope.
•T urning while going up or down a slope can be
dangerous. If you must turn on a slope, do it slowly
and cautiously . A void driving/turning on improperly
banked curves.
•Heavy loads af fect stability on a slope. Carry a
reduced load and reduce your ground speed when
operating on a slope or if the load has a high
center of gravity . Secure the load to the cargo bed
of the machine to prevent the load from shifting.
T ake extra care when hauling loads that shift easily
(e.g., liquids, rock, sand, etc.).
•A void starting and stopping the machine on a
slope. Stopping while going down a slope takes
longer than stopping on a level surface. If you
must stop the machine, avoid sudden speed
changes, which can cause the machine to tip or
roll over . Do not engage the brakes suddenly
when rolling rearward, as this may cause the
machine to overturn.
•Whenever you operate the machine on steep
grades, stay on the designated vehicle paths,
which should be marked with a warning of a steep
grade.
•Operating the machine at an excessive speed
down a slope will adversely af fect its stability .
Identify hazardous slopes with a warning in places
preceding the beginning of the slope. Use care
when approaching a slope, especially when you
turn the machine downhill or the downhill slope
exceeds 10% (6 degrees) on an unpaved surface
or 20% (1 1 degrees) on a a paved surface. A void
parking on steep hills.
Loading Safety
•Do not exceed the gross vehicle weight (GVW) of
the machine when operating it with a load in the
cargo bed; refer to Specications ( page 16 ) .
•Distribute the load in the cargo bed evenly to
improve the stability and control of the machine.
Monitoring the
Battery-System Charge
Level
Refer to the display to determine the battery-system
charge level; refer to Display ( page 12 ) .
Understanding the Low
Battery-Level Advisories
