OPERATION AND USE
id.:
DB 460 REV. 00 02/01/2015
Driving on slopes with a gradient above the prescribed one may cause the vehicle
to lose stability and consequently overturn.
- Do not change direction on slopes or move sideways, up or down the slope; if this is not possible, make
several diagonal manoeuvres holding the vehicle axis as parallel as possible to the direction of the slope.
- Never make sharp diagonal movements or, even worse, with the vehicle axis turned 90° with respect to the
direction of the slope.
- If the fuel reserve warning light comes on while you are working on a slope, immediately refuel; given that the
vehicle is inclined, the engine may take in air and stall unexpectedly, posing a grave danger to your safety.
DANGER:
CAUTION: Observing the recommended gradient limits does not mean that you can manoeuvre the
vehicle in total freedom in all load, ground or manoeuvring conditions on a slope. In any
event, it is advisable to halve the gradient values on wet or uneven ground.
