PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING

2.4.4 MOVING THE MACHINE

IMPORTANT
The use of the speed increase function is allowed only
q
for the fast speed transfers of the machine.
When moving the machine, lower the arm and fold the buc-
q
ket completely; this position makes it possible to evaluate
the space required for the movements more precisely and at
the same time ensures the stability of the machine.
If the equipment control levers must be used during travel,
q
avoid moving them abruptly; sudden manoeuvres change
the attitude of the machine and make driving difficult.
When travelling on rough ground, keep the speed low and
q
avoid sudden movements of the bucket arm.
If possible, avoid moving on obstacles.
q
If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the equi-
pment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low
speed.
Never move on obstacles that may incline the machine con-
siderably (over 10°).
If one of the two wheels goes over an obstacle or gets into a
q
hole in the ground, the machine may overturn.
In these cases, reduce the speed to minimum and be very
careful to the balance of the machine.

2.4.5 WORKING ON SLOPES

Operations on slopes and on river or lake banks with damp
q
ground may result in the tipping over or slipping of the ma-
chine.
Do not operate with the bucket before the tractor.
q
On hills, banks or slopes, keep the arm lowered and the buc-
q
ket folded and in case of emergency quickly lower it to the
ground to help the machine stop.
Do not change direction and if possible avoid travelling obli-
q
quely when working on slopes. It is advisable to go down or
up to a flat surface before performing these manoeuvres.
