When it is possible, avoid operating the machine across a slope. When it is possible, operate the machine
up a slope and down a slope. Never exceed a slope that is greater than 25 degrees for continuous fore/aft
slope operation and 35 degrees intermittent fore/aft operation. The 3044 engine has an intermittent rating
of 2 minutes and the 3024 engine has an intermittent rating of 15 minutes. Do not turn the machine while
you are operating on a slope.
When it is necessary to travel across a slope, the following steps should always be followed:
1. Stop the machine. Turn the machine slowly while you are backing down the slope.
Note: Do not back up a hill in order to turn.
2. Position the machine so that the front of the machine faces the direction for travel that is desired.
