When driving near an edge, keep at least two-thirds of
the drum width 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.
ROPS, (Roll Over Protective Structure), is
always recommended when driving on
slopes or insecure ground.
Where possible, avoid all driving transverse-
ly across a slope. Instead, drive up and
down on sloping ground. The machine will
topple on side slopes greater than 20° or
36%, to the right or left.
The tipping angle given here applies to smooth, hard
ground and a stationary machine. Steering angle zero,
vibration switched OFF and water tanks full.
Remember that loose ground, steering of the machine,
vibration switched ON, driving speed and increase in
height of the center of gravity (such as accessories)
may cause the machine to topple even on a smaller
slope than that stated here.
DRIVING/VIBRATION, cont’d.
Automatic vibration
Driving near edge
SAFETY WHEN DRIVING
With the vibration switch (27) in the AUT mode, the
vibration is automatically switched ON and OFF by the
forward/reverse lever at the pre-set speed.
Vibration is connected via two microswitches that are
each activated by a cam on the axle of the forward/
reverse lever.
The connecting position and thus the speed is adjust-
able.
•
Cams close together: Connection of vibration at low
speed.
•
Cams apart: Connection of vibration at higher speed.
Ensure that vibration is engaged at the same speed
front and rear.
