SAFETY WHEN DRIVING

Driving near an edge
When you drive near an edge, at least two thirds of the
drum width must be on solid ground.
Remember that the machine’s center of
gravity is displaced outward when you
steer to one side. For example, it moves to
the right when you steer to the left.
At least

ROPS is always recommended when dri-
ving on slopes or insecure ground.
Wherever possible, avoid driving across a
slope. Instead, drive up and down on slo-
ping ground.
The tipping angle is measured on level, hard ground
and a stationary machine. Steering angle zero, vibra-
tion switched OFF and all tanks full. Remember that
loose ground, steering of the machine, vibration swit-
ched ON, driving speed and raising the center of
gravity (as with accessories) may cause the machine
to topple even on a smaller slope than specified here.
