Working on slopes

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.

NOTICE

In order not to jeopardise the lubrication of the

engine, the machine must not be inclined more than

35 degrees in either direction. In addition it may be

unsuitable to operate at this inclination as the

machine may become unstable and unbalanced,

depending on the load.

In any machine

position the

maximum

machine

inclination

should not be
more than

(a)

Manageable
gradients

(b)

(engine

lubrication)

Manageable
gradients

(c)

(engine

lubrication)

α = 17.5°

(31.5 %)

α = 35°

(70%)

α = 30°

(57%)

a)(α= 50% of tipping limit)
b)manageable gradient for maximum 3 minutes
c)manageable gradient continuous

Be careful when opening or closing the doors on

a slope, operational force may be changed

rapidly. Make sure to keep the doors closed.
Do not descend backward on a slope.
Operate the travel function slowly when

approaching or descending a slope.
Do not change direction or travel a cross on a

slope. Change direction on level ground, if

necessary first come down to level ground and

make a detour.
If the machine slides, immediately lower the

bucket to the ground. The machine can turn over

due to unbalance. Especially, do not swing with
