Use Caution on Hillsides

CM989999019-UN-06JAN00

Avoid holes, ditches, and obstructions that may cause the harvester to tip, especially on hillsides.

NEVER drive near the edge of a gully or steep embankment because it may cave in.

Be especially careful when using single wheels. The danger of an overturn increases greatly with narrow tread, 2032 mm (80") or less, and with high speed.

For hillside operation, always use front and rear dual wheels. Avoid sharp, uphill turns.

Keep hydraulic oil level at upper level when operating on hillsides. Low oil level might result in loss of steering. If this should happen, hold harvester with brakes, shift to NEUTRAL, apply parking brake, stop engine, and add hydraulic oil to proper level.

Before operating on extremely steep slopes, fill hydraulic system overfull in sight glass, from 4 to 8 L (1 to 2 gal). This is particularly important when using large hydraulic cylinders, due to the volume of oil used to extend them.
