Working On Slopes; Unauthorized Operations - Komatsu PC14R-3 Operation & Maintence Manual

2.4.7 WORKING ON SLOPES

Operations on slopes and on river or lake banks with damp
q
ground may cause the machine to tip over or slip.
When working on slopes (max. inclination 10°), avoid turning
q
the turret, if possible, since this may cause the machine to lose
balance and overturn.
It is particularly dangerous to swing the equipment on slopes
when the bucket is full.
If these operations are going to last long, accumulate soil in
such a way as to create a horizontal platform on which the
machine can be positioned.

2.4.8 UNAUTHORIZED OPERATIONS

Do not carry out excavations under overhangs.
q
The overhang may collapse and fall on the machine.
Do not excavate too deeply under the front of the machine.
q
The ground under the machine may collapse and cause the
machine to fall.
To make it easier to escape from the machine in case of
q
emergency, set the tracks at right angles to the road shoulder or
coast, with the sprocket at the rear, when carrying out digging
operations.
