Safety

Working on loose ground
The ground is much softer after heavy rain. Do not work with the
machine too closely to overhangs, precipices and deep ditches.
If the ground sinks at such areas, the machine will topple down,
tip over and cause severe injuries.
Cornering
Do not perform any steering movements at full driving speed,
decelerate the machine first and then drive through the curve
slowly in a large radius.
Driving on embankments
Always keep a sufficient distance to ridges or steep slopes and
embankments. The machine will slide or tip over on these areas.
Refrain from any working method which impairs the vehicle's
stability against overturning!
The stability against overturning is always at the (sole) discretion
of the operator.
The machine is not suitable for operation on slopes or
embankments. Use vehicles which are specifically developed for
this purpose. On a slope, a number of factors such as angle of
slope, subsurface, mode of operation, accessory equipment etc.
can lead to the machine sliding or tipping over.
If the machine is operated in a hillside situation, the operator
alone carries the responsibility for the resulting damages to the
machine and accidents.
Do not turn on embankments and do not drive the machine
across any embankments. Perform this driving manoeuvre on
level ground only.
Drive very slowly and carefully and pay attention to the vehicle's
tipping point.
Drive only straight uphill or straight downhill on slopes.
Braking
The machine brakes automatically if you release the accelerator
pedal.
Use the holding brake only when the vehicle is at a standstill.
