8.3 Operating the machine
8.3.1 Operating in the forward and reverse direction
f Press the control handle in the direction of travel.
Note: The forward and reverse speed can be continuously varied.
8.3.2 Compacting on a slope
Compacting on slopes
The following points must be observed if you plan to compact inclined surfaces
(slopes, escarpments):
„
Always stand above the machine on a slope.
„
Start at the bottom of a slope (slopes that can be easily managed in an up-
ward direction can be safely traveled in a downward direction also).
„
Never stand in a position where the machine could possibly fall.
Not exceeding the maximum tilt position
„
Do not exceed the maximum tilt position (see chapter Technical Data ).
„
Only operate the machine at maximum tilt for short periods of time.
If you exceed the maximum tilt, the engine lubrication system will fail and thus
inevitably damage important engine parts.
