To avoid personal injury and property damage, the operator must

only monitor the immediate danger area as the machine may tip
suddenly and unexpectedly on account of potential landslides or
other types of unforeseen changes in the ground.
The occurrence of unusual noises may point to a defect. In this case,
stop and machine and shut it down. Identify and rectify the cause.
Special caution must be used in the vicinity of pits, embankments
or similar types of terraces. Before the machine is driven onto such
places, it must be ensured that the ground can support the weight of
the machine.
The machine must not be driven up inclines unless they are smaller
than the maximum incline capacity of the machine. Before driving
up inclines, the operator must ensure that the subsurface is suitable
and cannot cause the machine to skid.
For more information on how to drive up inclines, refer to the section
“Safedriving”.
As a general rule, only drive up and down inclines parallel with
the slope. If driving up crosswise to the slope regardless, make sure
not to exceed the maximum tilt angle. This angle was calculated on
a straight and level surface with the machine at a standstill.
Using the machine with the vibration, steering or abrupt driving
maneuvers and the conditions of the ground may reduce the
tilt angle dramatically and cause the machine to tip over.
