Operation
Driving on slopes
In order to avoid accidents, observe these safety instructions in particular when driving on
slopes.
Specific safety instructions
☞ Dump in the skip when driving the machine.
☞ Always drive in low speed on slopes!
➥ This also ensures more precise and smooth movements of the steering system.
• When driving on slopes or across obstacles,
• do not steer or drive across slopes.
☞ If possible, avoid changing direction when driving on slopes
☞ When steering the machine, ensure that you can stop safely at all times if the machine
starts to skid or if it becomes unstable.
• Dumping, swivelling or using the skip on slopes can cause the machine to lose its
balance and to tip over.
☞ Avoid this under all circumstances.
☞ Do not drive on slopes steeper than 15°, otherwise the machine can tip over.
☞ Do not drive across slopes steeper than 10° otherwise the machine can tip over laterally.
• If the tracks slip when driving uphill and it is no longer possible to move on with the
force of the tracks alone
☞ Do not use any auxiliary means to move the machine otherwise it can tip over.
☞ Always drive straight ahead when driving uphill or downhill. Driving diagonally or at an
angle to the slope is very dangerous.
☞ Avoid changing direction on slopes or driving across a slope.
☞ Drive slowly in meadows, on leaves or wet steel plates. The machine risks slipping
even if the slope is not steep. If the engine stops as you drive across a slope, immedi-
ately put the control levers to neutral position and start the engine again.
