USE OF THE MACHINE 114 RWA00390 DANGER RWA00400 • Before starting to work on slopes, always check the func- tionality of the brakes and of the parking brake. • Always engage the four-wheel drive. • Avoid engaging the high gears. • Do not move downhill with the gears in neutral, but keep always the low gears engaged. NON-COMPLIANCE WITH THESE RULES MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE MACHINE AND THIS MAY OVERTURN. • Avoid using the declutch push button. RWA00400 When working on slopes the following precautions should be taken to avoid risks for the operator and anyone in the vicinity; the checks and operations to be carried out are the following:
1 - Always check the work area for snow, landslips, gravel, loose ground and anything that may suddenly modify the work con- ditions and the stability of the machine. 2 - When it is necessary to travel downhill, the front bucket must always be directed downward, in transport position. 3 - When loading or travelling uphill, the front bucket must al- ways be directed upward. 4 - When moving the machine during work, always lower the front bucket. 5 - Carry out any lateral movement on a flat surface at the begin- ning or at the end of the slope; if this is not possible, move obliquely, keeping the machine axis as parallel to the slope directrix as possible.
Do not move too obliquely or, even worse, with the machine axis rotated by 90° with respect to the slope directrix.
