Use of Machines on Gradients or Slopes

!MWARNING
Ensure that you have been trained and are familiar
with the use of machines on gradients, and
understand the adverse affects that gradients and site
conditions can have on stability. Never use the
machine on a gradient if you do not understand the
recommended practices for the use of machines in
such applications.
0017
There are a number of factors which can adversely affect
the stability of the machine and the safety of the machine
and operator when used on a gradient.
It is essential that a risk assessment of the work to be done
is completed and that the operator complies with any
safety precautions that the assessment identifies.
Travelling on Slopes
The machine can operate without detriment to its systems
on inclines of up to 25°. However, on slopes greater than
10° the operator must use his discretion and proceed with
extreme caution.
