PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING 2.4.3 CHECKS FOR TRAVELLING IN RE- VERSE When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor visibility, designate a person to direct the movements of the machine and traffic on the work site. Before moving the machine, sound the horn to warn the per- sons standing or working in the area. There are blind spots behind the machine, which cannot be seen through the rear-view mirrors and where someone may be standing: therefore, it is necessary to make sure that there is no one behind the machine before travelling in reverse.
RWA00340 2.4.4 MOVING THE MACHINE When moving the machine, position the front bucket at about 30ч40 cm from the ground; this position makes it possible to evaluate the space required for the movements more precisely and at the same time ensures the stability of the machine. If the front bucket control lever is to be used during travel, avoid moving it abruptly; sudden manoeuvres change the atti- tude of the machine and make driving difficult. When travelling on rough ground, keep the speed low and avoid sudden movements of the bucket arm.
If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the front equipment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low speed, in order not to strain the axles and tyres. 36 RWA00350 30÷40 cm
