Operating on slopes
Do not operate on slopes above 22° (40%). If the slope is more than 5°, only go up and down
(not crosswise).
Always position the heavy end of the machine up hill. The weight distribution changes
depending on the use. When the tray / buildup is empty, the center of gravity of the machine is
relatively central. The front of the machine is heavier when the tray / buildup is loaded. If you
are unsure, call and ask us. The same rules apply to loading and unloading equipment onto a
trailer or truck.
Avoid twists on gradients. If a turn is unavoidable, turn slowly and position the heavier end at
the top slope.
Avoid working near ditches or embankments, the machine could tilt if a wheel travels over the
edge of a slope or ditch.
Avoid working on wet or slippery surfaces. Despite the good tires, the machine can slip.
Remove obstacles such as stones, tree trunks, etc. from the workspace. Pay attention to
grooves or bumps, as uneven terrain can lead to the machine tipping over. Obstacles can be
hidden in high grass.
Always drive slowly on slopes. When driving or parking on slopes, always lower the tray / buildup
and wedge the wheels to prevent unintended slipping/rolling of the machine.
If the machine is unstable, jump out of the way. Never attempt to stabilize the machine by placing
your foot on the ground.
