2.9.4.1 PARKING OF THE MACHINE ON A SOLPE OR DISCONNECTED GROUND
When parking the machine on a slope or disconnected ground with the stabilizers closed
make sure to stall the corners with wedges in order to avoid unintentional movements of the
machine.
‑ It is absolutely forbidden translating with the second speed on a non‑levelled or ravel‑
led surface and on curved surfaces.
2.9.5 STABILISING AND LEVELLING THE MACHINE
Once the machine has been placed, proceed with its stabilising and levelling. Above all make
sure that the surfaces where you are can bear the specified ground pressure exercised from
the machine (see technical data paragraph).
‑
Always remember to keep away from escarpments or ditches of the same depth and
keep at the prescribed distance from the electric lines.
‑
Make sure not to hit things or people when lowering the stabilisers.
To proceed with the stabilising and levelling operations, act from the basket on the controls
relative to each stabiliser to lift the crawler from the ground as much as possible; once done
act softly on the control levers of the stabilisers to bring the machine to the best levelling. To
check that such condition has been met, there is a water level on the machine; when the air
bubble is completely inside the green area (see the photo below) the machine is in the condi‑
tion admitted for its use. Remember that the maximum slant the machine can be levelled is
within a 1° tolerance signalled on the water level at 10 degrees. Grounds with higher slopes
do not allow a proper stabilisation and are a serious risk for the users.
On each stabiliser (see photo below), near the cylinder connection to the stabiliser itself, there
is an orange light. This light flashes when the stabiliser is resting on the ground.
