Safety instructions for operation on slopes
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
•
Make sure that the work area is safe. Be very careful
on slopes and rough surfaces. Wet and loose soil
increases the risk of an accident. For information
about maximum slope angle, refer to
on page 107 .
•
During operation on flat surfaces, walk behind or at
the side of the product. Be very careful during
operation on slopes. Do not walk or stay below the
product. The product is heavy and can cause serious
injury if it falls.
•
Loose ground, vibrations and the operation speed
can cause the product to fall on a slope with a
smaller angle.
•
Make sure that the surface is sufficiently stable when
you operate on ramps.
•
Move smoothly and slowly on slopes.
•
Operate the product up and down the slope, not from
side to side. Make sure that the arm system points in
the direction of the slope.
•
Do not operate the caterpillar tracks and the tower at
the same time to prevent sudden unwanted
movements.
•
Keep the arm system and the outriggers as low as
possible on slopes.
•
Attach the product if there is a risk of sudden
unwanted movements during operation on a slope.
•
Make sure that the product cannot fall during the
operation. There is a risk of injury and damage.
•
If it is necessary to park the product, make sure that
the surface is flat. Pull the arm system in and put the
tools against level ground.

Safety instructions for operation near edges
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
•
Do not operate by cable connection if the product is
near an edge. Only use radio connected operation.
•
Surfaces that are not sufficiently stable and incorrect
operation can cause unwanted movements of the
product. Be careful when you operate near shafts
and trenches or at heights.
•
Always attach the product and loose tools when you
operate near edges.
•
Make sure that the product is stable and does not
move near the edge during the operation.
•
Make sure that the surface is sufficiently stable for
the product weight. Refer to
107 .
•
Make sure that the surface can hold the vibrations
from the product. During operation, vibrations go
from the product to the surface.
Safety instructions for operation on rough
surfaces
WARNING:
instructions that follow before you use the
product.
•
Extend the outriggers until they are directly above
the surface when you move the product across
rough surfaces.
•
The arm system can be used to lift the caterpillar
tracks above rough surfaces. Do not turn or lift up
the arm system too high. There is a risk that the
product falls.
•
Rough surfaces can cause the product to tilt and fall.
Retract the arm system to move the center of gravity
near the product center. This decreases the risk that
the product falls.
•
Surfaces with an unsatisfactory bearing capacity can
cause the product to change the direction or fall.
Always examine the surface before you start the
product. Also make sure that there are no holes
below materials with unsatisfactory bearing capacity.
•
The caterpillar tracks give a low level of friction
against smooth surfaces. Water, dust and
contamination can decrease the friction more. Less
friction increases the risk of unwanted movement of
the product.
