• When moving the machine, keep the bucket between
40 and 50 cm above the ground with the boom and arm
folded .
• If you need to use the command levers when moving,
do not make any sudden movements when operating
them.
• Move the machine at low speed and slow down when
turning on hilly terrain.
• Avoid driving over obstacles if possible. Avoid them
or remove them. If this is not possible, drive the machine
at low speed keeping the tool near the ground.Never
travel over obstacles that risk tilting the machine by over
10 degrees.
2.2.3 Driving the machine on a slope
• Drive the machine carefully on a slope to avoid any
tipping over or slipping to the side.
• When driving the machine on a slope, keep the buck-
et between 20 and 30 cm above the ground to be able to
lower it to the ground and stop the machine in the event
of an emergency.
WARNING
Never travel across a slope of 20° or more as the
machine may tip over.
• Never turn the machine on a slope and do not move
it across a slope. Descend to flat ground and then turn.
Note

1 Specifications, page 165
• The machine will slide easily on grass, dead leaves
or a damp metal plate, even with a slight tilt. Drive the
machine carefully at low speed to prevent it slipping.
WARNING
The machine may lose its balance and tip over when rotating the upper part or when the
equipment is working on a slope.
Do not pivot the upper structure with a load in the bucket. If the rotation cannot be
avoided, provide a bank to keep the machine as horizontal as possible. Then turn the upper
structure.
