USE OF THE MACHINE
3.6.5.2 MOVING ON SLOPES
DANGER
•
Do not work on slopes with inclination exceeding 30°, since
in these conditions the machine may overturn.
•
When moving on slopes, do not use the travel speed in-
crease function.
When working on slopes some precautions should be taken to
avoid risks for the operator and anyone in the vicinity; the checks
and operations to be carried out are the following:
1 - Always check the work area for snow, landslips, gravel, loose
ground and anything that may suddenly modify the work condi-
tions and the stability of the machine.
2 - When it is necessary to travel downhill, the bucket must always
be directed downwards, in the position indicated in the figure.
3 - When travelling uphill, the bucket must always be directed up-
ward.
4 - When moving the machine during work, always lower the
bucket.
5 - Carry out any lateral movement on a flat surface at the begin-
ning or at the end of the slope; if this is not possible, move ob-
liquely, keeping the machine axis as parallel to the slope
direction as possible.
Do not move too obliquely or, even worse, with the machine
axis rotated by 90° with respect to the slope direction.
