3.3.11 PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
WARNING
q When travelling downhill on steep slopes, slow down using
the travel levers and the hand accelerator.
Do not travel downhill on slopes whose inclination exceeds
15°.
q Swinging or using the work equipment on slopes may
cause the machine to lose stability and overturn, therefore
it is advisable to avoid these operations. It is particularly
dangerous to swing the turret when the machine is
travelling downhill with full bucket. If these operations
cannot be avoided, create a sort of platform by heaping
some ground, so that the machine can work in horizontal
position.
q Do not travel up or down steep slopes, since the machine
may overturn.
q During travel, lift the machine at about 20-30 cm from the
ground. Do not travel downhill in reverse.
q Do not change direction on slopes; side movements must
be carried out on level ground, or with inclination not
exceeding 10° .
q Always operate the machine or travel in such a way as to
be able to stop it safely at any time if it slips or becomes
unstable.
q When travelling uphill, if the tracks slip or it is impossible
to move the machine using only the force of the tracks, do
not use the pulling force of the arm to help the machine
move forward. The machine runs the risk of overturning.
q Avoid adjusting the track gauge when the machine is
working on a slope: the machine may lose stability and
overturn.
1. When the machine travels downhill, the sprocket (1) must be
facing downhill.
If the machine travels downhill with the sprocket (1)
positioned uphill, the tracks tend to slacken and this may
cause the machine to slip.
