Operation
Machine operation on rough terrain
☞
Lower the loader unit and tilt in the bucket fully before starting machine travel. This not
only enables you to better estimate your space requirements, but also ensures
machine stability.
☞
Move the control levers for the attachments smoothly if you need to do so during
machine travel. Abrupt movements cause sudden changes in the machine’s behavior
and make machine travel more difficult.
☞
Perform slow machine travel on rough terrain and avoid fast movements of the loader unit.
☞
Do not perform machine travel on obstacles if possible. If you need to clear obstacles,
lower the loader unit to the lowest possible height and perform slow machine travel. Do
not move the machine on obstacles that cause a strong inclination of the machine (10°
or more).
☞
The machine can tip over if a wheel runs over an obstacle or through a hole. In these cases,
reduce speed to minimum and ensure that the machine does not lose its balance.
Machine travel on slopes
Proceed as follows to prevent the machine from tipping over or slipping sideways.
☞
During uphill or downhill machine travel, direct the heavier part of the machine uphill.
☞
Do not perform machine travel in very wet meadows or on leaves. The machine risks
slipping if working in an inclined position.
☞
Before machine operation on slopes, ensure that the parking brake works correctly.
☞
Never perform downhill machine travel at high speed, you risk losing control of the
machine and causing a serious or fatal accident.
☞
Do not perform machine travel, under no circumstances, on slopes over 15°.
☞
Refuel immediately if the fuel level indicator moves to the red range when working on
slopes. Due to the strong inclination, the engine could take in air and stall suddenly.
This in turn could jeopardize the safety of the operator and of any persons on the
downhill side of the slope.
☞
Should the engine stall suddenly, lower the bucket immediately and apply the parking
brake.
☞
Always move straight ahead when performing uphill or downhill machine travel.
Performing machine travel diagonally or at an angle to the slope is very dangerous. Do
not go beyond a maximum angle of inclination of 15°, otherwise the machine will tip over.
☞
Never change direction on slopes or perform machine travel across slopes. Always
change position on level ground before continuing machine travel on a slope.
☞
Perform machine travel slowly in meadows, on leaves or wet steel plates. The machine
can slip even if the ground is level. If the engine stops as you perform machine travel
across a slope, immediately put the control levers to neutral position, apply the parking
brake and start the engine again.
