Fig. 1 Position of drum when driving near
an edge
When you drive near an edge, at least two thirds of the
drum width must be on solid ground.
Remember that the machine’s center of
gravity is displaced outward when you
steer to one side. For example, it shifts to
the right when you steer to the left.
The ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure)
is always recommended when driving on
slopes or insecure ground.
Where possible, avoid all driving
across a
slope. Instead, drive up and down on slop-
ing ground.
The tilting angle is measured on a hard, level surface
with the machine stationary, steering angle zero, vibra-
tion switched OFF and all tanks full. Remember that
loose ground, steering of the machine, vibration
switched ON, driving speed and raising the center of
gravity (for example, with accessories) may cause the
machine to topple even on a smaller slope than that
stated here.
To leave the cab in an emergency, release
the hammer located on the rear right post
and break the rear window.
