WARNING
Risk of tipping over.
When working on uneven slopes and ground the
machine can tip over.
Make sure the maximum machine inclination is not
exceeded and that the inclination angle is not
increased by an obstacle.

permitted angle in the table below. Machine
function may be compromised, e.g., lubrication, if
recommendations are not followed. This may result
in machine damage.
