Operating on slopes
WARNING Slope hazards
During operation, secure the machine so it can not
fall if it is placed on a sloping ground. A fall can lead
to severe accidents and result in personal injury.
►
Always ensure that all personnel in the working
area are higher up the slope than the machine.
►
Always operate the machine straight up and down
when placed on slopes.
►
Never exceed the maximum recommended slope
angle when operating the machine. Follow the
recommendations.
NOTICE
Remember that loose ground, vibration
switched ON, and driving speed can all cause the
machine to tip over even on a lesser slope than
specified here.
Operating on slopes
♦
Ensure that the work area is secure. Wet and
loose earth reduces manoeuvrability especially
on sloping ground. Always exercise extreme
caution on sloping and uneven terrain.
♦
Never work on slopes that exceed the capabilities
of the machine. The maximum slope of the
machine in operation is 20° (depending on the
condition of the ground).
20°
♦
The tilting angle is measured on a hard level
surface with the machine stationary. Vibration
switched OFF and all tanks full.
20°
Start and stop
WARNING Sudden machine movement hazard
During the starting procedure when the hydraulic
system is connected, the machine may move in either
direction. If the machine moves, it may be sudden
and this movement that can cause injuries.
►
Keep your feet away from the machine.
►
Pay attention and look at what you are doing.
