4 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Precautions for travelling on slopes
When traveling on a sloping ground, the machine be-
comes unstable, unbalanced, and difficult to control.
Therefore, the following operating prescriptions shall be
strictly respected.
Always travel with the undercarriage oriented along the
slope, never across. Never travel along a slope steeper
than
20°
.
If going across a slope is needed to reach a specific work
place, make sure to follow an alternative path that is made
by traveling along the slope, as outlined in the pictures.
Always select the slow speed travel mode, and operate
the travel controls in order not to suddenly increase or
decrease the speed of the machine.
NOTICE:
never shift the travel mode to the fast speed
range while traveling on slopes, as this suddenly in-
creases the speed and makes the machine unstable and
difficult to control.
NOTICE:
when the hydraulic oil is not sufficiently warm,
the machine may not be able to develop its full perfor-
mance. Before traveling on a steep slope, make sure to
carry out a complete preheat of the machine main sys-
tems.

For uphill and downhill travel, approach the slope as out-
lined in the pictures.
The undercarriage shall be oriented along the slope, with
the blade facing the direction of travel, and with the travel
reduction gears on the back side.
The upper-structure shall be aligned to the undercarriage,
and shall be oriented in order to grant straight visibility to
the direction of travel.
The front equipment shall be aligned to the direction of
travel, and shall be positioned in order to have the arm in
vertical position, and the bottom side of the bucket
20 –
30 cm
(
7.9 – 11.8 in
) from the ground.
When traveling along a slope, never swing the upperstruc-
ture or the boom from the straight position. In particu-
lar during uphill travel, never attempt to swing the upper
structure towards the bottom of the slope: the machine
could tip over.
If the machine starts to slide or loses stability when trav-
eling along a slope, immediately lower the bucket to the
ground and release the travel controls.
Never make turns when traveling along a slope in order
not to affect the balance of the machine. If changing of the
travel direction is needed, make sure to reach a horizontal
area in order to complete the turning movement.
