If the bucket/knapper touches the ground, the machine may lose
balance and be damaged
Observe the following requirements to avoid rollovers or sideslips
of the machine:
When moving upslope:
Fold the boom and bucket close to a 90° angle as shown in the
first picture
Make sure to keep the bucket/breaker at least 20 to 30cm (8 to 12
inches) above the ground.
NOTE: This way, the equipment can be quickly dropped down to stop
the machine in case of an emergency.
Be sure to turn the cabin towards the hill's top.
when climbing a very steep slope (close to 30°), stretch the
machine's boom towards the front to maintain balance as shown
in the picture
Keep the bucket/breaker at 20 to 30cm (8 to 12 inches) above the
ground while driving at low speed.
When moving downhill:
Keep the travel joystick control at the centered position to let the
machine regulate the speed automatically with the engine break (if
equipped).
NOTE: Do not make turns or transverses while on a slope as it
may cause slipping or even tilt the machine
Change the position of the machine on the flat area before
climbing the slope.
Drive at low speed on slopes of low amplitude to avoid slipping.
If the engine stalls while moving on a slope, shift the joystick
control to the middle position before restarting the engine
Examine the ground's hardness before moving the machine
downhill a slope.
While on a slope, do not rotate the cabin or move the machine's
boom to avoid tipping over caused by a loss of balance
Make sure to stand on a flat area when performing work tasks.
To avoid rollovers, do not rotate the cabin when carrying load on a
slope.
While working on the slope, use platform to maintain the
machine's balance.
If the engine stalls (including case of accidents where stop/start is
impossible)
