Operation
Preparations for performing machine travel on slopes
Always drive straight ahead on slopes.
When changing position, do not exceed a maximum gradient angle of 15° and a maximum
lateral angle of inclination of 10°.
Performing machine travel diagonally on slopes is prohibited.
Change position on level ground and then perform straight-ahead machine travel onto the slope.
Uphill machine operation
During uphill machine operation, the front window of the cabin must face uphill.
Set the stabilizer blade uphill.
Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and position it straight ahead
at the center of the machine.
Do not exceed a maximum gradient angle of 15°.
Downhill machine operation
During downhill machine operation, the front window of the cabin must face downhill.
Set the stabilizer blade downhill.
Raise the boom about 20 – 30 cm (8 – 12 in) off the ground and position it straight ahead
at the center of the machine.
Do not exceed a maximum sloping angle of 15°.
