Working on uneven ground
Extra caution is needed when using the equipment on inclined terrains and slopes. Drive slowly especially on
inclined, uneven, or slippery surfaces, and avoid sudden changes in speed or direction. Operate the controls
of the loader with careful and smooth movements. Watch out for ditches, holes on the ground, and other
obstacles, as hitting an obstacle may cause the loader to tip over.
Maximum lifting capacity can not be achieved on inclined terrain. On horizontally tilted terrain the load must
not be lifted high. The loader frame articulation should be kept straight when lifting heavy loads; turning the
load during lifting operation will affect the stability of the loader and may lead to overturning of the machine.
6.6.1
Operating with a tilt adapter
When you work on slightly inclined terrains, a tilt adapter is an useful option. The tilt adapter is fitted in
between the attachment and the quick coupling plate of the loader. The adapter allows the attachment to be
tilted sideways. The possible tilt adapter options at the time of print of this manual are ±12.5º (model A34148),
±45º (model A36505) or ±360º (model A424406). Read the instructions provided with the tilt adapter and in
the operator's manual of the loader. More information about the tilt adapters is available from your AVANT
retailer or from the AVANT web pages at www.avanttecno.com.
