RT / RTx Operation
4.20 Operating on Slopes
Background When operating on slopes or hills, special care must be taken to reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the machine.
Procedure Always operate the machine up and down slopes rather than from side to side. The
machine is equipped with safety switches which will shut down the engine should
the side-to-side operating angle exceed 45°. Forward/backward tilt is not limited by
the safety switches. For safe operation and for protection of the engine, continuous
duty use should be restricted to slopes of 14° (25% grade) or less.
4.21 Rollovers
Proper operation of the machine on slopes will prevent rollovers. Read and follow
safety instructions in the topic
Operating on Slopes . If a machine rollover does
occur, care must be taken to prevent damage to the engine. If the machine has
rolled over, oil from the engine crankcase can flow into the combustion chamber,
which can severely damage the engine the next time it is started. If the machine
has rolled on its side, immediate steps should be taken to position the machine
upright.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the machine must NOT
be started, AND must be serviced to remove any oil that may have been trapped in
the combustion chambers. Contact your local Wacker Neuson dealer for
instructions or servicing.
A rollover is indicated by the tip-over light which flashes when in the “FLASH LED”
mode or stays on solid when in the “LOCK OUT START” mode. See section
Programing the ECM Tip-Over Mode .
WARNING
Crushing hazard. Never operate the machine sideways on slopes. The machine
may tip or roll over even on stable ground.
► Operate the machine straight up and down slopes.
