2.4.4 CHECKS FOR TRAVELLING IN
REVERSE
q
When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor
visibility, designate a person to direct the movements of the
machine and traffic on the work site.
q
Make sure that no unauthorized person is within the machine
operating range or in its travel direction.
If necessary, put up appropriate fences.
q
Before moving the machine, sound the horn in order to warn
everyone close to the work area.
q
There are blind spots behind the machine, which cannot be
seen and where someone may be standing: therefore, it is
necessary to make sure that there is no one behind the
machine before travelling in reverse.
2.4.5 MOVING THE MACHINE
q
When moving the machine, position the bucket at about 20÷30
cm from the ground; this position makes it possible to evaluate
more precisely the space required for the movements and at the
same time ensures the stability of the machine.
q
Make sure that the driver seat is directed towards the blade.
Otherwise, pay attention to the steering and advance
manoeuvres, since they are inverted.
q
If the equipment control levers must be used during travel,
avoid moving them abruptly; sudden manoeuvres change the
attitude of the machine and make driving difficult.
q
When travelling on rough ground, keep the speed low and avoid
sudden movements of the bucket arm.
q
If possible, avoid moving on obstacles.
If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the
equipment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low
speed.
Never move on obstacles that may incline the machine
considerably (over 10°).
q
If one of the rubber tracks moves on an obstacle or gets into a
hole, the machine may overturn.
In these cases, reduce the speed to minimum and be very
careful to the balance of the machine.
