2.3.8 Working on unstable ground
WARNING
Unstable ground increase the risks of the machine tipping over.
• Keep away from cliffs, verges and ditches as the ground there is unstable. Keep away from
cliffs, verges and ditches as the ground there is unstable. There is a risk that it will give way
because of the machine's vibrations or weight, which would cause the machine to tip over or
fall. Be careful when working immediately after rainfall or an explosion as the ground is
unstable.
• Infills and grounds near trenches are not stable and risk giving way because of the weight
or vibrations of the machine, which would cause the machine to tip over or fall. Be very care-
full when working on this type of ground.
• When you are working in an area with a high risk of rock fall, wear a helmet and remain
under the canopy or in the cab.
2.3.9 Working in a submerged area
• Before you use the machine in a submerged area,
examine the condition of the ground and the depth
and flow of the water.
• The maximum depth of water in which the machine
may be used is located up to the centre of the carrying
roll.
IMPORTANT
When you come out of the water, if the machine
is climbing a slope with an angle of over 15°,
there is a risk that the rear of the upper struc-
ture will remain submerged in the water, which
risks damaging the radiator when it stirs up the
water. Be aware of this when you exit the water.
• After use, apply a large quantity of grease to the moving parts (in particular the bucket pin)
which have been submerged in water for a long period until the grease used is extruded from
the bearings.
• Then wipe off the extruded grease with a cloth.
