WARNING
Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the
vicinity. Pay attention to the contours of the terrain and other hazards, such as
branches and trees that can reach to the driver's area, loose rocks, and slippery
surfaces.
Make sure that overhead clearance is sufficient. Hitting an overhead obstacle may
cause the loader to tip over. Keep a safe distance from electric cables, lamps, or
other electric systems; hitting live parts may cause electric shock.
Ensure that ventilation is sufficient when operating indoors. Do not operate the loader
in closed spaces regardless of the engine or fuel type. Exhaust gases may
concentrate to hazardous levels.
Keep the loader articulation in straight position when handling heavy loads. When
turning the articulation, the loader may tilt forward.
Observe maximum load indicated in the operator’s manual of the loader. Be
especially careful when the load sensor indicator is activated, if your loader is fitted
with a load sensor system.
Make sure to use only an attachment that is in good condition. Check the attachment
thoroughly in regular intervals. Do not modify the attachment in a manner that would
affect its safety. It is prohibited to drill holes on the attachment, and welding or other
means of fixing hooks or other objects on the attachment is strictly prohibited.
Use the attachment only for its intended purpose. Other use may create unnecessary
safety risks, and the equipment may get damaged.
Make sure that the loader is equipped with necessary safety components, and that
they are in working condition. Seat belt must be used. If there are specific hazards
related to the operating area, use appropriate safety equipment.
Also read the safety instructions and correct use of the loader from the operator's
manual of the loader.
DANGER
Risk of crushing - Going under the loader boom or an attachment can cause
serious injury or death.
Never go under the loader boom and prevent others from
getting near lifted boom or attachment. Going under a raised attachment or loader boom
is dangerous, as the boom may lower due to loss of stability, mechanical fault or when
other person operates the controls of the loader. Lower the attachment firmly on the
ground before leaving the driver’s seat.
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.
