Safety - when operating
Driving near edges

an edge
Minimum
2/3
When driving near an edge, minimum 2/3 of the drum
width must be on solid ground.
Keep in mind that the machine's center of gravity
moves outwards when steering. For example, the
center of gravity moves to the right when you
steer to the left. Keep in mind that the machine's center of gravity

Slopes
Fig. Operating on slopes
Max 20° or 36%
This angle has been measured on a hard, flat surface
with the machine stationary.
The steering angle was zero, the vibration was
switched OFF and all tanks were full.
Always take into consideration that loose ground,
steering the machine, vibration on, machine speed
across the ground and raising the center of gravity can
all cause the machine to topple at smaller slope
angles than those specified here.
The ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) is
always recommended when driving on slopes or
unstable ground. The ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) is
always recommended when driving on slopes or
unstable ground.
Where possible, avoid driving across slopes.
Drive instead straight up and down sloping
ground. Where possible, avoid driving across slopes.
Drive instead straight up and down sloping
ground.
