Keep the cabin doors closed.
Do not adjust the driver’s seat while driving.
Do not climb onto or off the machine while the machine is driving.
Do not use the machine to transport persons.
In case of unusual noises and development of smoke perform
trouble shooting to determine the cause and have the fault cor-
rected.
Match the speed to the working conditions.
Do not make extreme steering movements when driving with high
speed, danger of tipping over!
Always give way to loaded transport vehicles.
Switch the lights on if the visibility is poor.
Always keep a safe distance to excavation pit borders, embank-
ments and edges.
Refrain from any work that could adversely affect the stability of the
machine.
Always keep a sufficient distance when passing through subways,
under bridges, tunnels, electric power lines etc.
1.2.7.3 Driving up and down slopes
Do not drive on gradients or slopes exceeding the maximum gra-
deability of the machine
Drive extremely carefully on gradients and always directly up or
down the slope.
Soil conditions and weather influences impair the gradeability of
the machine.
Wet and loose soil considerably reduces traction of the machine on
inclinations and slopes. Increased danger of accident!
1.2.7.4 Cross slope
The tipping angle was measured statically on level, hard ground
with the machine stopped and without steering.
The max. permissible inclination of the machine may be limited by
the max. permissible slanted position of the engine.
The specified angle must not be exceeded.
With loose soil, acceleration/deceleration, running vibration,
steering or attached accessories the tipping angle may be consid-
erably lower.
Driving across slopes should therefore be strictly avoided, because
of the high risk of tipping over and the related risk of severe or
even fatal accidents.
