WRONG
• Operations on slopes and on river or lake banks with damp
ground may result in the tipping over or slipping of the ma-
chine.
• On hills, banks or slopes, keep the bucket very close to the
ground (20÷30 cm from the ground) and in case of emergency
quickly lower it to the ground to help the machine stop.
• Do not change direction and avoid travelling obliquely when
working on slopes. It is advisable to go down or up to a flat
place to perform these operations.
• Do not travel on wet grass or thick layers of leaves: if the ma-
chine moves obliquely in these conditions, it may slip.
• Do not move on slopes with inclination exceeding 30°, since
the machine may overturn.
• When the fuel level indicator reaches the red reserve area dur-
ing work on a slope, immediately provide for refuelling; due to
the inclination of the machine, the engine may suck in air and
suddenly stop, which represents a grave risk for the safety of
the operator and of the persons before the machine.
• If the engine should stop all of a sudden, immediately lower
the bucket to the ground.
