If possible, do not drive on slopes. Do not drive across slopes.
When you drive on slopes, there is a risk of injury due to these causes:
• The machine can tip over.
• There is less traction and braking force of the wheels which can cause unex-
pected movement of the machine.
Only drive on slopes in these conditions:
• The attachment is empty.
• The lift arm is in the lowest position.
• The maximum angle of the slope is not more than 11.3° (20%).
• You drive straight up and down the slope.
• The machine is unarticulated.
• You drive up and down the slope with the heaviest end uphill.
When you operate the machine, including loads, the maximum slope at maximum
load at the lowest speed is limited to 3° (5.3%). Steeper slopes are possible with
smaller loads, at your discretion and responsibility. The maximum angle of the
slope depends on these factors:
• The loading, weight, position and balance of the load.
• Your driving style and speed.
• Circumstances and the capacity of the surface, such as loose sand, and
humidity of the surface.
Stay at the ‘high’ side during transport on a slope.
When you load or unload the machine from a trailer, obey the instructions in the
chapter ‘Commissioning’.
SAFETY - HYDRAULIC PARTS
• Exposed hydraulic hoses could react with explosive force if struck by a falling
or overhead items. NEVER allow hoses to be hit, bent or interfered with.
Replace any hoses that are damaged.
• Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as
possible from a suspected leak.
• Do not smoke or have any spark- or flame-producing equipment or materials in
the area while working on the hydraulic systems.
