5.6. Machine stability
The dumper must at all times be operated in a manner that does not compromise its stability (no risk of
slipping, toppling over or tipping). The stability of the machine might be compromised by: overloading, soft
ground, sudden acceleration or movements or work on steep inclines. To ensure that the dumper is
stable at all times, the operator must adjust the machine's speed and work operations to suit the actual
site conditions. The stability of the dumper is primarily determined by the ground conditions on site. There
are special risks associated with tip trucks operated on soft ground and in conjunction with loads that tend
to stick to the trough such as wet clay or frozen material. Never exceed the maximum permissible
payload of the dumper. Keep a safe distance from ditches, excavation pits and slopes to prevent toppling
over. When working near excavated pits, shafts, ditches or trenches, secure the dumper against slipping
and rolling off.
