Operation

Machine travel on slopes
Danger
!
Accident hazard due to tipping over or slipping of machine on slopes!
Can cause serious injury or death.
☞
Travel on slopes only on firm and level ground.
☞
Drive on slopes only with the telescopic travel gear extended (normal operation).
☞
Never exceed the stability limits of the machine (maximum gradient angle
15°, maximum lateral angle of inclination 10°).
☞
Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and position it
straight ahead at the center of the machine. In an emergency, lower the
boom immediately to increase stability.
☞
Do not actuate speed level 2 in down slopes or In up slopes.
☞
Do not reverse down slopes.
☞
Do not turn or swivel the upper carriage and the boom when driving down-
hill or uphill with a full attachment.
☞
Performing machine travel diagonally on slopes is prohibited.
Stones and the humidity in the upper layer of the ground can drastically affect machine
traction and stability.
The machine can slip sideways on gravel or loose, rocky soil. The stability of the machine
can be reduced on rough terrain.
Newly filled or muddy ground can give away under the weight of the machine, or the tracks
can dig into the ground and increase the angle of the machine (maximum gradient angle
and maximum lateral angle of inclination).
If the engine dies as you drive on a slope, immediately put the control levers to neutral
position and start the engine again.
Bear in mind the following under all circumstances when driving uphill or downhill:
• Keep the drive levers near the neutral position.
• Perform slow and smooth travel movements.
• Avoid sudden travel movements.
• Reduce the engine speed.
The machine can slip even on gentle slopes if it travels across grass, leaves, humid metal
surfaces, frozen ground or ice.
