3.3.10 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
WARNING
q
When travelling downhill on steep slopes, slow down using
the travel levers and the hand accelerator.
Do not travel downhill on slopes whose inclination exceeds
15°.
q
Swinging or using the work equipment on slopes may
cause the machine to lose stability and overturn, therefore
it is advisable to avoid these operations. It is particularly
dangerous to swing the turret when the machine is travel-
ling downhill with full bucket. If these operations cannot be
avoided, create a sort of platform by heaping some ground,
so that the machine can work in horizontal position.
q
Do not travel up or down steep slopes, since the machine
may overturn.
q
During travel, lift the machine at about 20-30 cm from the
ground. Do not travel downhill in reverse.
q
Do not change direction on slopes; side movements must
be carried out on level ground, or with inclination not ex-
ceeding 10° .
q
Always operate the machine or travel in such a way as to
be able to stop it safely at any time if it slips or becomes
unstable.
q
When lifting, if the tracks slip or if it is not possible to con-
tinue lifting using the track force only, do not use the trac-
tive force of the 2nd° boom to facilitate machine movement.
The machine runs the risk of overturning.
1.
When the machine travels downhill, the sprocket (1) must be
facing downhill.
If the machine travels downhill with the sprocket (1) posi-
tioned uphill, the tracks tend to slacken and this may cause
the machine to slip.
