Operation RD7
4.16 Operating on Slopes
Background When operating on slopes or hills, special care must be taken to reduce the risk of
personal injury or damage to the machine.
Procedure Always operate the machine up and down slopes rather than from side to side. For
safe operation and for protection of the engine, continuous duty use should be
restricted to slopes of 24° (45% grade) or less.
4.17 Rollovers
Proper operation of the machine on slopes will prevent rollovers. Read and follow
safety instructions in the chapter Operating Safety and the topic Operating on
Slopes. If a machine rollover does occur, care must be taken to prevent damage to
the engine. If the machine has rolled over, oil from the engine crankcase can flow
into the combustion chamber, which can severely damage the engine the next time
it is started. If the machine has rolled on its side, immediate steps should be taken
to position the machine upright.
NOTICE: To prevent damage to the engine after a rollover, the machine must NOT
be started, AND it must be serviced to remove any oil that may have been trapped
in the combustion chambers. Contact your local Wacker Neuson dealer for
instructions or servicing.
WARNING
Crushing hazard. Never operate the machine sideways on slopes. The machine
may tip or roll over even on stable ground.
► Operate the machine straight up and down slopes.
