Operation
The climbing ability of the PistenBully depends on the limit of
adhesion of the snow. The machine's centre of gravity is
another factor influencing climbing ability. It is important for
the driver to ensure that as much of the surface area of the
tracks as possible is in contact with the ground, as otherwise
there is a risk of the vehicle toppling. The limits are heavily
dependent on the way in which the vehicle is used, on load, on
the prevailing conditions, and on the skill and ability of the
driver.
S = Centre of gravity
H = Downgrade force
Each situation must be assessed with care. Never assume
that it is safe to operate in a certain area at any given time
merely because a vehicle was in the area in question before-
hand.
Inexperienced drivers, in particular, should familiarise them-
selves with the vehicle and equipment before undertaking
operations in difficult terrain.
