Carrying Loads - Honda HP500H Manual De Explicaciones

Load carrying safety
To avoid accidents or overturning:
• Observe the load limits described on page 29.
• Do not stack the load so that the power carrier becomes top-heavy
and unstable.
• Carry only lightweight loads when the carrier side rails are extended.
• Do not allow the load to protrude from the power carrier or block
visibility.
• Secure the load to the tie-down hooks with strong ropes or straps.
• Before operating the power carrier, check that the carrier bed is
locked.
• When operating the power carrier on ground that is soft or uneven,
reduce speed and exercise extra care.
• When operating the power carrier on hills, reduce speed and exercise
extreme caution.
Never descend slopes in reverse gear.
• Exercise extra care when starting, stopping, or changing the direction
of the power carrier while operating it on slopes.
• Do not carry loads on upward slopes greater than 25° (46%) or
downward slopes greater than 15° (26%).
• When carrying a heavy load, give special consideration to the
balance of the unit, making sure the load is even and not leaning. If
the load is leaning, the unit may overturn during take-off, while
stopping, or when travelling on a bad road, resulting in serious injury.
