MANEUVERING ON UNEVEN GROUND
2.6
When moving on uneven ground, the contact of the wheels with the
surface depends on the depth of possible holes and obstacles found along
the route. Wheel contact is guaranteed if the difference in level (A) is +/-
15 cm; above this value, the lower wheel remains lifted off the ground.
MANEUVERING ON A TRANSVERSAL SLOPE
2.7
Before operating on ground with a transversal gradient use the outriggers or levelling device (if present) to
level the machine.
It is strictly forbidden to lift and/or handle loads on sloped terrain without first having levelled the machine.
Lifting loads with an unlevelled machine is very dangerous and exposes the
vehicle and the operator to the risk of tipping over sideways. The machine
can only travel on a transversal slope that is
less than or equal to 10%
