Steering on inclines
Working on edges When the machine is used for compacting operations on the edges
of an elevated surface, the edge below the machine may collapse
suddenly and unexpectedly. If the machine protrudes beyond the
edge, the machine may tip over unexpectedly.
Use caution when driving over edges. If necessary, verify that
thebearingcapacityofthegroundissu󰀩cienttosupport
the weight of the machine.
Only drive at operating speed when operating close to the edge.
If in doubt, shift the vibration system to the weaker stage
orswitchito󰀨
Keep a maximum portion of the drum on the top surface
and watch the position of the drum closely.
Avoid steering when operating on inclines.
The machine may tip over if the operator steers while driving up
an incline.
If it is necessary to steer during operation on an incline, the operator
must make sure to move the straight part of the machine towards
the edge or the slope.
Vibrating on compacted
surfaces
When used on heavily compacted surfaces, the vibration may
cause the drum to swing up and the machine to lose contact with
the ground. This may cause the machine to skid on steep surfaces.
Using the vibration on a heavily compacted surface may cause
damage to the bearings on the machine.
When driving on compacted surfaces, switch the vibration
systemo󰀨.
When driving up compacted inclines, only work at operating
speedandwiththevibrationsystemswitchedo󰀨.
Speed in curves Driving in tight curves may reduce driving stability. Consequently,
reduce the drive speed when operating in tight curves.
