DANGER
Accident hazard due to unintentional actuation!
Can cause serious injury or death.
• Raise the control lever base.
• Once work with the stabilizer blade is over, lower it to the ground.
• Ensure that no one is in the danger zone when working with the stabilizer blade.
Information!
Lowering the stabilizer blade too deeply into the ground can create a high
resistance.
• Slightly raise the stabilizer blade.
• The clearance between the stabilizer blade and the ground should be about 1
cm (0.39 in).
• Check the position of the stabilizer blade before driving the machine.
• Always set the slewing stabilizer blade (option 3503) to the straight position. The
only exception that can be made to this is for backfilling and clearing. If
necessary, clean the area around the slewing cylinder before beginning work.
see chapter Slewing stabilizer blade: cleaning the slewing cylinder on
page 3-34.
• When grading, backfilling and clearing, always approach the material carefully to
avoid damage.
• In order to ensure maximum stability during work, press the stabilizer blade
against the ground.
