Ensure that bystanders are at a safe distance when operating the equipment. Do not let anyone to
enter danger area of the boom or to stay directly in front of the loader. Also make sure that it is safe to
reverse with the loader. Never assume that bystanders will remain where you last saw them;
especially children are often attracted to the moving equipment.
Check the general condition of the attachment and the loader, and check for possible hydraulic oil
leaks. The attachment must not be used, if there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the loader or the
attachment. Refer to Chapter 7 for maintenance instructions.
Operate the attachment and the controls of the loader only when seated on the driver’s seat. Ensure
that the loader and the attachment are used in a safe manner and as intended. Do not allow children
to operate the equipment.
Never operate the loader or attachments while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication that
may impair judgement or cause drowsiness, or if not otherwise medically fit to operate the equipment.
Remember correct working methods and avoid leaving the driver’s seat unnecessarily.
WARNING
Avoid running over persons - Check surroundings before driving.
Always look in the
direction the loader is moving. Before reversing, always ensure that bystanders,
especially children, are at a safe distance to avoid back-over accidents.
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. For 200-series loader the wheel weights are recommended. With heavy loads,
the telescopic boom must be kept retracted while moving with the loader. Always wear
seat belt.
