2 Usage precautions
2.3.8 Working on unstable ground
Unstable ground increase the risks of the machine tipping over.
•
Keep away from cliffs, verges and ditches as the ground there is unstable. There is a risk
that it will give way because of the machine's vibrations or weight, which would cause the ma-
chine to tip over or fall. Be careful when working immediately after rainfall or an explosion as
the ground is unstable.
•
Infill and ground near trenches are not stable and risk giving way because of the weight or
vibrations of the machine, which would cause the machine to tip over or fall. Be especially
carefully when working on this type of ground.
•
When you are working in an area with a high risk of rock fall, wear a helmet and remain
under the canopy or in the cab.
2.3.9 Working in a submerged area
•
After use, apply a large quantity of grease to the moving parts (in particular the bucket pin)
which have been submerged in water for a long period until the grease used is extruded from the
bearings.
•
Then wipe off the extruded grease with a cloth.

WARNING
•
Before you use the machine in a submerged
area, examine the condition of the ground and the
depth and flow of the water.
•
The maximum depth of water in which the ma-
chine may be used is located up to the centre of the
carrying roll.
IMPORTANT
When you come out of the water, if the ma-
chine is climbing a slope with an angle of over
15°, there is a risk that the rear of the upper
structure will remain submerged in the water,
which risks damaging the radiator when it
stirs up the water. Be aware of this when you
exit the water.
