WORKING ON THE SLOPING GROUND

• Before starting the work on the sloping ground check the following things:
• There is no person in the machine danger zone.
•
The ground is level and stable enough and the border areas are marked properly.
• Max. ground inclination on the working site is 5°.
• Leader foot and pile are slightly above ground.
•
Telescope leader has been lowered as down as possible (if the machine is
equipped with telescope leader).
•
The position of the counterweight, see capacity tables.
• There are not any extra loads hanging on ropes.
•
All functions are performed slowly with care and without sudden movements.
• It has to be exercised caution and carefulness when working on the sloping ground,
especially when the machine is equipped with heavy equipment (hammer/rotary
head/vibrator) and with long pile, auger or working tube.
• When the uppercarriage is turned, at the same time has to be made sure that the
leader inclination angle does not increase too much by adjusting the leader position
correspondingly.
• To maintain the machine stability on the sloping ground it is recommended that the
uppercarriage is no longer turned when the pile is on the leader.
• Use of the swing brake (optional) may be beneficial if the machine is working on the
sloping ground. The swing brake is operated with a switch on the right console. If
you use the swing brake do not forget to release it when you no longer need it.
n WARNING
Make sure that there is no person in the danger zone when moving with the machine.
Make sure that the ground on the working site is stable and firm enough and that the
border areas are properly marked.
