3.8 Driving the machine; working operation
3.8.1 Persons in the danger zone
Before taking up work, also after breaks, you should always con-
vince yourself that the danger zone is free of persons or obstruc-
tions, especially when driving in reverse.
Give warning signals, if necessary. Stop work immediately if per-
sons remain in the danger zone, despite the warning.
3.8.2 Driving the machine
Only drive on load-bearing surfaces.
In case of unusual noises and development of smoke perform trou-
bleshooting to determine the cause and have the fault corrected.
Match the speed to the working conditions.
Always keep a safe distance to excavation pit borders, embank-
ments and edges.
Refrain from any work that could adversely affect the stability of the
machine.
3.8.3 Driving up and down slopes
Do not drive on gradients or slopes exceeding the maximum gra-
deability of the machine
Ä
Chapter 2 „Technical data“ on page 11.
Drive extremely carefully on gradients and always directly up or
down the slope.
Soil conditions and weather influences impair the gradeability of
the machine.
Wet and loose soil considerably reduces traction of the machine on
inclinations and slopes. Increased danger of accident!
3.8.4 Cross slope
The tipping angle was measured on level, hard ground with the
machine stopped and without steering.
The specified angle must not be exceeded.
With loose soil, acceleration/deceleration, running vibration,
steering or attached accessories the tipping angle may be consid-
erably lower.
Driving across slopes should therefore be strictly avoided, because
of the high risk of tipping over and the related risk of severe or
even fatal accidents.
