Instructions for use
Check the attachment and the operating environment once more before starting to work, and that all obstacles
have been removed from the operating area. Quick inspection of the equipment and the operating area before
use are parts of ensuring safety and the best performance of the equipment.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Avoid overload and keep heavy load close to the loader. Keep
loads close to the ground whenever driving, especially during turns and uneven
terrain.
Pay attention that a heavy load or long distance between the loader and the
centre of gravity of the load will affect the balance and handling of the loader. The use of
additional counterweights is recommended especially when operating smaller loader
models. With heavy loads, the telescopic boom must be kept retracted while moving with
the loader. Always wear seat belt.
WARNING
Cave-in hazard - Never drive along excavation.
Caving in hazard at the excavation
and around it. Do not drive along the edge of an excavation. Mark or fence the digging
area and keep others away.
WARNING
Cave-in hazard - Never drive along excavation.
Driving near the edge of an excavation
can cause the edge to cave in, and the loader can fall as a result. Inspect the job site and
take notice of any potential hazards in the area. Especially loose soil can cave in easily,
but cave-in can happen with most types of soil. If it is necessary to reinforce the trench,
have materials ready when starting trenching. Pile loose soil far enough from the trench,
never right next to it. Enter trench only after thoroughly evaluating the safety of doing so.
Local requirements may set limits to depth of a trench without reinforcements. Mark or
fence the digging area and keep others away.
WARNING
Risk of crushing - Never allow anyone to get under a
lifted attachment or loader boom.
Keep in mind that the
loader boom can be lowered or tilted even if the engine has
been shut down (crushing hazard). The loader is not intended
to be left to keep a load elevated for longer periods. Always
lower the attachment to a safe position before leaving the
driver's seat.
CAUTION
Risk of falling of load and loss of stability - Never lift objects with the backhoe.
The
backhoe is not intended to lift loads and is not equipped with lifting eyelets for lifting
objects.
