Safety instructions

Operating the machine on a sloping surface

Under no circumstances may the machine be operated on
surfaces that affect its lateral incline, as there is then a risk
of tipping (see figure 1).
Figure 1. The machine may not be driven such that the machine's
lateral incline is other than horizontal.
The machine must not be operated on downhill slopes ex-
ceeding 5 vertical metres for 2 minutes. If this is done, the
braking resistors can overheat, resulting in damage to the
machine.

Driver motors' release lever – when towing
If the machine is to be lifted, this is performed with forks un-
der the machine, and each fork may only be inserted at the
indicated points.
If the machine has to be towed, the drive motors' brakes
have to be released manually. This is done by pulling in and
securing each drive motor's release lever, which are situated
beneath the cab and protrude up from the drive box's cover.
The levers must be pressed in towards the machine, and
can be secured with e.g. a cord (see figure 2).

Figure 2. When towing, the drive motors' release levers must be se-
cured in their innermost position. Note that the machine does not
have any brakes in this position.
