5.7 Driving the machine

Danger
!
Danger of accident!
Wet and loose soils considerably reduce the
ground adhesion of the machine on inclina-
tions and slopes.
Soil conditions and weather influences impair
the climbing ability of the machine.
Do not drive up and down inclinations which
exceed the maximum gradability of the ma-
chine (see chapter "technical data").
Driving across slopes should therefore be
strictly avoided, because of the high risk of tip-
ping over and the related risk of severe or even
fatal accidents.
You should therefore always drive straight up
or down a slope.
For rollers with a drum width of 1 m or less
there is a considerable risk of tipping over near
edges (e.g. curbstones, embankments, trench-
es, potholes) when driving over these edges.
Do not drive without wearing your seat belt.
Always give way to loaded transport vehicles!
Before starting to drive make sure that the
drive range is absolutely safe.
Drive and operate the machine only from the
driver's seat.
