• Machine stability and traction may be severely reduced when operating
on uneven or rough terrain, rocky soils, or wet or loosely packed surface
material.
• The machine may suddenly tip, sink, or fall when moved onto surfaces
that have been newly filled with earth.
Steering angle
An articulated roller is more likely to tip when moving off an elevated surface
if the machine is turned away from the edge.
Turn the machine toward the edge when moving off an elevated surface, as
shown in the following illustration.
Fig.16: Traveling safely
Travel speed
Reduce travel speed before turning the machine. A fast moving machine is
more likely to tip or fall over while making turns or changing direction.
Drum overhang
The machine can tip suddenly if more than half of the drum width extends
beyond the edge of the elevated surface.
• Reduce travel speed and watch the drum position carefully when operat-
ing along the edge of an elevated surface.
• Keep as much of the drum on the elevated surface as possible.
Vibrating on a compacted surface
Activating the vibration system on a fully compacted surface may cause the
drums to rebound and momentarily lose contact with the ground. If this oc-
curs while the machine is on an incline, the machine may slide.
Note: Reduce vibration speed or stop vibration if the drums rebound on the
compacted surface.
