Matters needing attention on travelling on
slope
Do not jump onto the incontrollable machine to shut it off, other-
wise you will have the risk of serious injury.
Travelling on the slope will cause the machine to tip-over or slip-
ping.
Keep the bucket at a position 20-30cm (8-12in) over the ground
while the machine is travelling on the hill, on the dyke or on the
slope. Please immediately lower the bucket onto ground in an
emergency to assist the stop of the machine.
Do not travel on grasses, tree leaves or wet steel plate. Even
a small slope can make the machine slip towards one side.
Therefore, drive slowly to ensure the machine always travelling
right under the slope or right over the slope Avoid changing the
Fig 23
travelling direction while the machine is travelling on the slope,
otherwise it will cause tip over or sideslip.
Operate the machine under or over the slope as much as possi-
ble. Avoid traversing the slope.
Prohibited operations
Do not shovel the working face under the highland, otherwise it
will cause the highland to collapse, making falling objects tramp
onto the top of the machine.
Working with heavy load on soft, unsmooth or cracked ground
may cause the possibility of dangerous side force and tipover.
Travelling without load or with unbalanced load is also danger-
ous.
Do not use jack or other inappropriate objects as the support
while working.
Do not exceed the load ability of the machine (the maximum
load and stability depend on the equipment structure) while op-
erating in order to prevent the accidents induced from the equip-
ment damage and tipover for the overload of the machine.
