2.3 Precautions during operation
Safety
2-24
WA70-7 – VENAM02003
When operating in tunnels, under bridges, under electric
wires, or in other places of limited height, be extremely care-
ful to prevent the work equipment from hitting objects.
To avoid accidents and collisions with other objects, the
machine must always be operated at a speed where safety
is guaranteed. This is particularly important for work in con-
fined spaces, indoors, and on sites with other machines.
Driving on slopes
Keep sufficient distance to ridges or steep slopes. The
machine may tip over or slip when operated too close to
steep slopes, ridges or embankments. The limit values are
listed in chapter 6.4 “Limit values for slopes” (6-6).
To keep the centre of gravity low, keep the bucket close to
the ground (approx. 20–30 cm) when driving near slopes,
ridges or embankments. In case of an emergency, quickly
lower the bucket to the ground to stabilise the machine.
Do not turn or traverse on slopes. Only execute these
manoeuvres on level ground.
If it is necessary to drive on slopes, avoid driving on grass,
fallen leaves, or steel plates. The machine may slip on these
surfaces when traversing across the slope. Drive very slowly
and carefully.
When driving downslope, use the braking power of the
engine and drive slowly.
If the engine fails when driving on a slope, immediately oper-
ate the service brake to stop the machine. Then apply the
parking brake. Lower the working equipment.
When driving on a slope with a load, drive
uphill: forwards
downhill: backwards
