Operation
Driving across slopes
The dumper may be driven on firm ground across a slope of up to 10°.
Do not exceed the maximum slope.
Danger of accidents!
☞ The angle must be smaller in the case of soft and uneven ground!
☞ Do not actuate the skip as you drive on slopes
☞ Always dump in the skip before driving on slopes
☞ Always keep the loader unit 30 – 40 cm above the ground when driving the
machine.
☞ Always reduce your speed as you drive on slopes – see Drive levers on
page 3-13
☞ Always drive straight ahead when driving uphill or downhill. Avoid driving
diagonally or at an angle.
☞ The machine is very narrow. Therefore, drive very carefully on slopes or on
soft or uneven ground.
☞ Drive with extreme care on slopes in rain or if the ground is wet or slippery.
Driving on slopes
The dumper may be driven on firm ground on a slope of up to 15°.

with a loaded machine!
☞ If the skip is less than half full, drive backwards uphill or forwards downhill.
☞ If the skip is more than half full, drive forwards uphill or backwards downhill.
☞ The angle must be smaller in the case of soft and uneven ground!
☞ Before driving on a slope, lower the skip and do not operate it on the slope!
