Operating on a slope
Under no circumstances is the
machine to be operated from the ground. The
operator must be seated inside the machine
during all operation.
When transporting on steep ground (downward
slope > 5%) make sure not to exceed the
maximum speed for the roller.
Selecting low speed increases the efficiency of the
engine brake and prolongs the brake life.
Low speed should always be selected when
working and transporting on steep slopes (>15%).
The driving and braking rear wheels should also
always be pointing down the slope, i.e. the roller
is driven forwards up the slope and reversed down
the slope.
Make sure that the area in front of and
behind the roller is clear.
