Fig. 3-1 Tipping hazard!
DANGER
Danger to life through tipping or slipping of the roller! The
edges of filled areas may give way!
• Only travel directly up or down slopes.
• Do not drive across slopes.
• Keep your distance to embankments and edges!
• Do not drive over steps on roadways!
• Park the roller on slopes only in such a way that it cannot tip
over.
• Use the roller on slopes only in such a way that it cannot tip
over.
• The roller drums have very poor adhesion on snow and ice. Dri-
ving or working on a slope in snow or ice is prohibited.
DANGER
Danger to life through being thrown out!
• Always wear the safety belt. Together with the rollover bar it is
a safety system that can save your life.
Keep the following hazards in mind:
• Plane surfaces are not always uniformly load-bearing.
• Cavities or large stones may be located below the surface.
• Loamy/clayey soils become slippery when wet.
• Vibration can increase the hazard of lateral slipping.
• High steering angles at slope edges increase the hazard of
overturning.
• Articulated machines are in particular danger from high stee-
ring angles on slopes.
