ROPS is always recommended when dri-
ving on slopes or insecure ground.
Where possible, avoid all driving across
slopes. Drive up and down on sloping
ground.
The tipping angle given here applies to smooth, hard
ground and a stationary machine. Steering angle zero,
vibration switched OFF and all tanks full. Remember
that loose ground, steering of the machine, vibration
switched ON, driving speed and an increase in height
of the center of gravity (for example, with accessories)
may cause the machine to topple even on a smaller
slope than that specified here.
Driving near an edge
When driving 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 outwards when stee-
ring to one side. For example, it moves to
the right when steering to the left.
