Driving on gradients
Special care should be taken when driving on gradients: move slowly, avoid placing
the machine across the gradient and do not work on gradients steeper than those
recommended.
The maximum permitted gradient does not imply that it is possible to manoeuvre here in
absolute safety under all load, ground and operating conditions.
Gradients should be descended in reverse, with the load facing the direction of greatest
stability
(fig. 1) .
It is not recommended to work on gradients of more than 20 % in wet conditions and
more than 30 % in dry conditions.
 Parking the dumper
A badly parked dumper may represent a grave danger.
Leave the dumper parked in the areas designed for this purpose, without blocking
passages, exits or entrances to emergency stairs and equipment.
Park on level ground. If it is necessary to park the dumper on a gradient, in addition to
using the park brake, place blocks against the wheels.
When leaving the dumper (fig. 2) :
- Lowering the bucket.
- Lock the park brake.
- Stop the engine and remove the key from the ignition switch.
- Set all switches to position “0” (neutral).
- Block all the mechanisms to prevent use of the machine by unauthorized
persons; particularly the ignition circuit, by removing the key.
