SAFETY WHEN DRIVING
Slopes
Fig. 2 Tipping angle on side slopes
Max. 20°
or 36%
ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) is
always recommended when driving on
slopes or insecure ground.
Where possible, avoid all driving
across a
slope. Instead, drive up and down on slop-
ing ground.
Always use 1st gear when driving on a
slope.
The tipping angle is measured on level, hard ground
and a stationary machine without ballast. The steering
angle is zero (machine moving straight forward) and all
tanks full. Remember that loose ground, steering of the
machine, driving speed and increase in height of the
center of gravity (for example, with accessories) may
cause the machine to topple even on a smaller slope
than that specified here.
Emergency braking
Fig. 3 Service cover, under operator’s
station
1. Adjusting screw (2x)
2. Lock nut (2x)
3. Brake yoke (2x)
If emergency braking has occurred at transport speed,
loosen the lock nut (2) and the adjusting screw (1) on
both brake yokes (3).
Place a 0,3 mm (0.012 in) thick shim between the
brake disc and one of the brake linings.
Tighten the adjusting screw (1) until it is just possible to
remove the shim. Tighten the lock nut (2).
Repeat the procedure on the other brake yoke.
