Crushing hazard due to tipping over of the machine. Damage to
machine due to open doors and covers.
► Perform smooth and slow movements with the machine.
► All doors and covers must be closed when tilting the machine.
► Tilt the machine only on firm ground.
► Tilt the machine only if it is at a standstill and if the attachment
is empty.
► Never turn, lower, or set down the attachments abruptly.
► Do not extend or retract the boom abruptly.
► Do not exceed a maximum lateral angle of inclination of 10°.
► Do not exceed a maximum gradient angle of 15°. Do not
exceed a maximum sloping angle of 15°.
► On a slope, position the machine so that the upper carriage is
tilted toward the slope.
Walls and parts of building touched by machine.
► During machine operation in the immediate vicinity of a wall or
parts of a building, ensure that the upper carriage does not
touch anything when it is tilted.
Tilting the upper carriage hydraulically and steplessly by up to 15° allows
you to compensate slopes of up to 27 %.
Lowering the upper carriage:
1. Press and hold switch 1 backward.
2. Press the right-hand control lever 2 to the right.
➥ The upper carriage is lowered.
3. If the required tilt angle is reached, return control lever 2 to the neutral
position and release button 1.
