3.8 Driving on slopes
Follow these safety instructions carefully when driving on slopes, in order to avoid
accidents.
Specific safety instructions
☞ Dump in the skip when driving the machine.
☞ Also drive in low speed on slopes!
☞ When driving the machine, make sure you can stop safely any time if the machine
starts to skid or if it becomes unstable.
☞ Avoid swivelling the skip downhill on slopes, otherwise the machine can lose its
balance and tip over.
➥ Always dump out the skip uphill.
☞ Do not drive across slopes steeper than 25 % otherwise the machine can tip over
laterally.
☞ Always drive straight ahead when driving uphill or downhill. Driving diagonally or at an
angle to the slope is very dangerous.
☞ Drive slowly in meadows, on leaves or wet steel plates. The machine can slip even if
the ground is level.
Driving on slopes with a loaded skip
Proceed as follows to prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping sideways:
☞ When driving on slopes (> 25 %) with a loaded skip, the skip must always face uphill
since the heavier part of the machine – in this case the load in the skip – must face
uphill to prevent the machine from tipping over.
Driving on slopes with an empty skip
☞ When driving on slopes (> 25 %) with an empty skip, the skip must always face downhill
since the heavier part of the machine – in this case the engine – must face uphill to
prevent the machine from tipping over.
Driving across slopes
☞ Do not drive across slopes with lateral inclinations steeper than 25 %!
☞ When driving across slopes with lateral inclinations up to 25 %, dump out the skip only
uphill for reasons of safety.
Pay special attention to the ground when driving across slopes –
Danger of accidents!
☞ Driving across slopes up to 25 % steep is allowed only on firm ground.
