8.
Accelerate as the carrier climbs a grade. Decelerate at the top of the grade and during descent. Use 1 range for 30% to
60% grades and 1-2 range for up to 30% grades.
9.
Steer in a series of short turns on side slopes rather than one long even turn. This allows debris to feed out of the tracks.
Use gear range 1 or 1-2.
10. Descend grades slowly. Shift to a lower range before starting down. Approach bottom cautiously to avoid digging.
Use 1 range for 30% to 60% grades and 1-2 range for up to 30% grades. Do not use engine and transmission to hold
carrier on a slope.
11. If any warning light comes on, stop engine (WP 0029 00) and troubleshoot problem (WP 0074 00).
