PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING 2.4.4 MOVING THE MACHINE When moving the machine, lower the arm and fold the bucket completely; this position makes it possible to evaluate the space required for the movements more precisely and at the same ti- me ensures the stability of the machine. If the equipment control levers must be used during travel, avoid moving them abruptly; sudden manoeuvres change the attitude 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 possible, avoid moving on obstacles.
If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the equip- ment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low speed. Never move on obstacles that may incline the machine conside- rably (over 10°). RWA31820 WRONG If one of the two wheels goes over an obstacle or gets into a ho- le in the ground, the machine may overturn. In these cases, reduce the speed to minimum and be very care- ful to the balance of the machine. RWA21950 2.4.5 WORKING ON SLOPES WRONG Operations on slopes and on river or lake banks with damp ground may result in the tipping over or slipping of the machine. Do not operate with the bucket before the tractor.
On hills, banks or slopes, keep the arm lowered and the bucket folded and in case of emergency quickly lower it to the ground to help the machine stop. Do not change direction and if possible avoid travelling obliquely when working on slopes. It is advisable to go down or up to a flat surface before performing these manoeuvres.
