PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING

2.4.4 MOVING THE MACHINE

When moving the machine, position the bucket at about 40÷50
cm from the ground; 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.
Make sure that the driver's seat is directed towards the blade.
Otherwise, pay attention to the steering and advance manoeu-
vres, since they are inverted.
If the equipment control levers must be used during travel,
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
avoid sudden movements of the bucket arm.
If possible, avoid moving on obstacles.
If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the equip-
ment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low
speed.
Never move on obstacles that may incline the machine consid-
erably (over 10°).
If one of the two rubber tracks moves on an obstacle or gets
into a 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.
