Working on slopes
NOTICE
In order not to jeopardise the lubrication of the
engine, the machine must not be inclined more than
35 degrees in either direction. In addition it may be
unsuitable to operate at this inclination as the
machine may become unstable and unbalanced,
depending on the load.
Caution on a slope
Be careful when opening or closing the doors on
a slope, operational force may be changed
rapidly. Make sure to keep the doors closed.
Do not descend backward on a slope.
Operate the travel function slowly when
approaching or descending a slope.
Do not change direction or travel a cross on a
slope. Change direction on level ground, if
necessary first come down to level ground and
make a detour.
If the machine slides, immediately lower the
bucket to the ground. The machine can turn over
due to unbalance. Especially, do not swing with
loaded bucket. In unavoidable case, pile up earth
on the slope, and then make the machine level
and stable.
While travelling on a slope, keep the angle
between boom and dipper arm at 90 - 110 °, raise
the bucket 20 - 30 cm from the ground
While travelling down on a slope, keep the angle
between boom and dipper arm at 90 - 110 °, raise
the bucket 20 - 30 cm from the ground and travel
at low speed.
