2.3 Precautions during operation

WA70-7 – VENAM02003
Working on snow
Snow-covered or frozen ground is slippery. Drive and work
very carefully and do not operate the levers abruptly. Even
a slight slope may cause the machine to slip.
For this reason, be particularly careful when driving on
slopes. Frozen ground may become soft when thawing, and
this may cause the machine to tip over.
If the machine enters deep snow, there is a hazard that it
may tip over or become buried in the snow. Be careful not to
leave the road or become trapped in a snow drift.
When clearing snow, the road shoulder and objects placed
beside the road are buried in the snow and cannot be seen.
There is a hazard of the machine tipping over or hitting cov-
ered objects, so work carefully.
When travelling on snow-covered roads, always fit tyre
chains.
When driving on snow-covered slopes, never apply the foot
brake suddenly. Reduce the speed and use the engine as a
brake while applying the foot brake intermittently (depress
the brake intermittently several times). If necessary, lower
the bucket to the ground to stop the machine.
Working on loose ground
Avoid driving or operating the machine too close to the
edges of cliffs, overhangs, or deep ditches.
If the ground sags in such places, the machine may tip over,
fall down, or roll over, causing severe injuries.
Take into account that the soil is wet and soft after heavy
rainfall, or very loose after blasting.
