WARNING Make sure that you have been trained and are familiar with the use of machines on slopes, and
understand the adverse affects that slopes and site conditions can have on stability. Never use the machine
on a slope if you do not understand the recommended practices for the use of machines in such applications.
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 slope.
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.
