Operation on uneven surfaces,
gradients, and near excavations
Extra caution is needed when using the equipment
on inclined terrains and slopes. Drive slowly
especially on inclined, uneven, or slippery surfaces,
and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction.
Operate the controls of the loader with careful and
smooth movements. Watch out for ditches, holes on
the ground, and other obstacles, as hitting an
obstacle may cause the loader to tip over.
Load, unload, and turn on flat level ground only.
Drive slowly on uneven terrains. Do not drive on too
steep a gradient - watch out for ditches, manholes
and steep gradients.
Do not park the loader on a surface with a gradient. If
this can't be avoided, engage the parking brake, and
preferably turn the machine sideways and put down
the load. If needed, use chocks behind the wheels.

DANGER
Uneven ground can cause the
loader to overturn - Risk of
serious injury or death. The
stability and the load handling
capacity of the loader are
significantly reduced on inclined
terrains and maximum lifting
capacity can be achieved only on
firm, level ground. On horizontally
tilted terrain the load must be kept
close to the ground and must
never be lifted high.
Handle heavy loads only on
even surfaces.

Handle heavy loads only on even surfaces.

Drive very slowly on uneven terrains. Load,
unload, and turn the machine on flat level ground
only. Lifting a load or turning on uneven surfaces
can lead to loss of stability.

Do not drive on too steep a gradient - watch out
for ditches, manholes and steep gradients, which
may cause the loader to tip over.

Never drive along an excavation. Note that the
excavation or trench may suddenly cave in.
Exercise extreme caution when driving near
ditches or embankments, and avoid driving along
a ditch or trench, as the machine could suddenly
tip over if an edge caves in. Avoid driving along
trenches and keep at least a distance equal to
width of a trench.

Do not park the machine on a surface with a
gradient. Should this be necessary, engage the
parking brake and preferably turn the machine
sideways and put down the load. If needed, use
chocks behind the wheels.
