GRADIENTS
The stability of the dumper will be severely affected when operating on a gradient. Extra care must be taken by the operator to ensure
the safety of themselves and other personnel in the area.

by the assessment. The operator must be trained, competant and understand the risks involved.
ONLY
drive the dumper across the gradient if absolutely necessary. Plan your route, if possible, to avoid crossing the gradient.
ALWAYS
drive with the dumper skip fully lowered.
LADEN DUMPER
When travelling up or down a gradient, the dumper must always be facing the top of the gradient.
ALWAYS
travel up the slope forwards
and reverse down the slope.
NEVER
attempt to travel forwards down the gradient as there is a serious risk of overturning.
•
NEVER
operate the machine on a gradient steeper than 25% (1/4) or 16% (1/6) for a sideways gradient.
•
NEVER
exceed 5mph when operating on a gradient.
•
Avoid aggressive speed changes.
•
Avoid turning as this will decrease stability
