1.
Avoid operating the steering when traveling over curbs,
rocks, or places where there is a big difference in height
(more than approx. 20 cm (8 in)). When traveling over
such objects, always travel at right angles to the object.
2.
When traveling in reverse up a slope, do not turn when
moving from flat ground onto the slope.
If it is necessary to turn on slopes, be sure to turn gradual-
ly.
3.
Do not proceed along the edge of slopes or on rough
ground keeping one track in horizontal position and the
other inclined or partially lifted (with the machine inclined
more than approx. 10°). To avoid damaging the rubber
shoes, always proceed with both tracks in horizontal posi-
tion.
4.
If the machine is operated as explained in 1 to 3 above,
the rubber shoes is slackened. Do not steer the machine
in the positions shown in the figure.
