Operation 3.3. Operation 3.3.5. Turning and steering NOTE The machine may fall over if you turn abruptly at a high speed. If the machine is halted during the ride, the servo- assisted steering will be deactivated. You may then only proceed with steering the machine with considerably higher effort. Turning on slopes, dams or hills Keep sufficient distance to ridges and steep slopes. There is danger of the machine tipping over or sliding down on steep slopes, embankments, or hill flanks. The limiting values are defined in chapter "6.4. Limit values for slopes" on page 6-5. Do not turn on a slope or drive across a slope. Turn or cross the section only level ground.
When driving on slopes, avoid driving on grass, fallen leaves, or steel plates. Driving sideways on these surfaces types may result in the machine sliding. Drive very slowly and carefully. To keep the centre of gravity as low as possible when driving on slopes, embankments, and hill flanks, you must set the bucket to a position just above the ground (approx. 7.874 to 11.811 inch (200 to 300 mm)). In the event of an emergency, displace the bucket fast on the bottom in order to stabilise the engine. WA100M-5 – VEAM280201 3-51
