INTRODUCTION, SAFETY, PLATES AND DECALS
TRAVELLING OVER LONG DISTANCES
Before travelling over long distances:
- return the machine to basic position;
- activate the upper structure holding brake in auto-
matic mode.
The machine is then in basic position.
Before driving on public highway, familiarize yourself
with local laws and the regulations in force.
Read and observe meticulously the instructions pro-
vided under "travelling on public roads" page 1-12.
TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
Never drive across slopes or turn the machine on a
slope.
The machine may slip or overturn.
Take special care on slippery soils.
Ensure that the tyres offer adequate grip. Only then
are the steering and braking properties of the
machine maintained.
TAKING A BEND
Reduce the machine speed while taking a bend. If
the speed is too high and the steering wheel is
wrenched round, there is a risk of the machine over-
turning (due to a wheel of the rigid axle being lifted
14
off the ground). Extremely hard braking while taking
a bend may also cause the machine to overturn.
DO NOT TOW ANOTHER VEHICLE
The machine is not suitable for towing trailers or
other vehicles; this would result in damage to the
axles and gearbox.
The towing fixture is provided solely for towing or
recovery the machine from hazard areas or for lash-
ing purposes on transport vehicles.
