SAFETY MEASURES DURING OPERATION
3-14
DRIVING
• During driving, the bucket is in its transport position. Make
sure to heed the transport position indicator for this purpose.
• When driving on uneven ground, drive slowly and avoid sud-
den steering movements.
• If the engine goes out while driving or if the hydraulic pump
breaks down, you may no longer steer the machine. An
emergency steering system will only be available, if the ma-
chine is moved with a speed of min. 1.24 mph (2 km/h) (1.24
mph is the max. permitted towing speed).
DRIVING ON SLOPES
• Keep sufficient distance to ridges and steep slopes. There is
danger of the machine tipping over or sliding down on steep
slopes, embankments, or hill flanks. The limiting values are
defined in chapter "Limit Values for Slopes".
• To keep the centre of gravity as low as possible when driving
on slopes, embankments, and hill flanks, you must set the
bucket to a position just above the ground (approx. 7.87 in
(200 mm) to 11.8 in (300 mm)). In an emergency, quickly
lower the bucket to the ground to stabilize the machine.
• Do not turn on a slope or drive across a slope. Turn or cross
the section only on level ground.
• When driving on slopes, avoid driving on grass, fallen
leaves, or steel plates. Driving sideways on these surfaces
may result in the machine sliding. Drive very slowly and
carefully.
• When driving down a slope, use the braking power of the en-
gine and drive slowly.
• If the engine stops while you are driving on a slope, immedi-
ately apply the service brake to stop the machine. Then ap-
ply the parking brake. Lower the work unit.
• When driving on a hill with a load, drive
uphill: in forward direction
downhill: in reverse direction
