building.
Always keep a sufficient distance when passing through subways,
under bridges, tunnels, electric power lines etc. and when entering
into or driving out of buildings.
If the machine has contacted high-voltage power lines:
n do not leave the operator’s stand,
n
warn others from coming close to or touching the machine,
n if possible drive the machine out of the danger zone
n
have the power switched off.

1.2.7.3 Driving on gradients and slopes
Do not drive on gradients exceeding the maximum gradability of
the machine
Ä
Chapter 2 „Technical data“ on page 63
.
Drive extremely carefully on gradients and always directly up or
down the slope.
Soil conditions and weather influences impair the gradability of the
machine.
Wet and loose soils considerably reduce ground adhesion of the
machine on gradients and slopes. Higher risk of accident!
