PRECAUTIONS DURING OPERATION SAFETY WARNING: For reasons of safety, always follow these safety precautions. G When travelling on rough ground, travel at low speed, and avoid sudden changes in direction. G Avoid travelling over obstacles as far as possible. If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the work equip- ment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low speed. Never travel over obstacles which make the machine tilt strongly (10 o or more). INCORRECT AM089010A TRAVELLING ON SLOPES G Travelling on hills, banks or slopes that are steep could result in the machine tipping over or slipping.
Downhill AD338730A G On hills, banks or slopes, carry the bucket closer to the ground, approximately 20 to 30 cm above the ground. In case of emergency, quickly lower the bucket to the ground to help the machine stop and prevent it from tipping over. Uphill AD338740A G Do not turn on slopes or travel across slopes. Always go down to a flat place to perform these operations. INCORRECT CORRECT Method of travelling on slopes see “PRECAUTIONS WHEN TRAVELLING UP OR DOWN HILLS” on page 127.
