4.13 Operation on Slopes
See Graphic: wc_gr001005
When operating on slopes or hills, special care must be taken to
reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment. Always
operate the machine up and down hills rather than from side to side.
For safe operation and for protection of the engine, continuous duty
use should be restricted to front/rear slopes of 9° (15% grade) or less.
NEVER operate the machine sideways on slopes. The machine may
roll over, even on stable ground.
4.14 Rollovers
4.15 Tip-Overs
Proper operation of the machine on slopes will prevent rollovers. If a
machine tip-over does occur, care must be taken to prevent damage
to the engine. In this position, oil from the engine crankcase can flow
into the combustion chamber, which can severely damage the engine
next time it is started. If the machine has rolled on its side, immediate
steps should be taken to right the machine.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the engine after a tip-over, the
machine must NOT be started, AND must be serviced to remove any
oil that may have been trapped in the combustion chambers. Contact
your local Wacker Neuson dealer for instructions or servicing.
