3.13.4 LOADING MATERIAL ON SLOPES 

WARNING

q

The loading of material on slopes is to be carried out on-
ly if absolutely necessary, always going up with the
bucket directed forward.

q

Go down slopes in reverse, with the loader directed
forward and lowered bucket.

q

Move changing direction slowly and with the bucket
lowered as much as possible.

q

Absolutely avoid reaching the transversal position with
respect to the slope direction.

q

Sudden movements of the bucket and dangerous posi-
tions may cause the machine to overturn and cause se-
rious damage or even death.
