3.6.7 MOVING ON SLOPES
WARNING
q
Before working on slopes, always check the functionali-
ty of the parking brake.
q
Always go up or down slopes at moderate speed and
with the heavier end of the loader always directed towar-
ds the top of the slope.
q
When going up or down slopes, keep the equipment
lowered; movements with raised arm may cause the ma-
chine to overturn.
q
Do not use the speed increase function when the ma-
chine travels on slopes.
When working on slopes some precautions should be taken to
avoid risks for the operator and anyone in the vicinity; the che-
cks and operations to be carried out are the following:
1 - Always check the work area for snow, landslips, gravel, lo-
ose ground and anything that may suddenly modify the
work conditions and the stability of the machine.
2 - When going up or down a slope with empty bucket, make
sure that the bucket is always directed downwards with
respect to the machine body.
3 - When going up or down a slope with full bucket, make su-
re that the bucket is always directed upwards with respect
to the machine body.
4 - When moving the machine during work, always lower the
bucket.
5 - Carry out any lateral movement on a flat surface at the
beginning or at the end of the slope; if this is not possible,
move obliquely, keeping the machine axis as parallel to
the slope direction as possible.
Do not move too obliquely or, even worse, with the machi-
ne axis rotated by 90º with respect to the slope direction.
