3.49 Tilting the upper carriage (option 3503)
Vertical digging on slopes is possible by tilting the upper carriage hydraulically by 15° with
the VDS.
Bear in mind the following during machine operation:
Crushing hazard when tilting the cabin!
Can cause serious injury or death.
• All persons must stay clear of the hazard zone when tilting the cabin.
• Tilt the machine only on firm ground.
• Tilt the machine only if it is at a standstill and if the attachment is empty.
• All doors and covers must be closed when tilting the machine.
• Never turn, lower or set down the attachment abruptly.
• Do not extend or retract the boom abruptly. Otherwise there is danger of
tipping over!
• When working in the immediate vicinity of a wall or parts of a building,
ensure that the upper carriage does not touch anything when it is tilted.
• On a slope, position the machine so that the upper carriage is tilted toward
the slope. Otherwise there is danger of tipping over!
