6. Using the broom
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. Practise the use of the
attachment and its controls in an open and safe area. If you are unfamiliar with the loader in use, it is
recommended to practise its use without any attachments.
WARNING
Entanglement hazard - Never leave the driver’s seat
when the broom is in operation
. Keep a safe distance
between the broom and other persons and stop the broom
and lower it down completely whenever others are in
proximity with the broom. Never perform any maintenance or
adjustments if the broom can start by accident. Shut down
the loader engine, turn off auxiliary hydraulics and lower the
loader boom before going near the attachment.
WARNING
Hazard of thrown objects - Keep bystanders away. Note
that the attachment can throw stones, gravel, or other objects
found in the area at high speed. Always keep a safety
distance of at least 2 metres to other persons.
WARNING
Risk of tipping over - Avoid overload. Loader can tip over
when handling too heavy loads, or because of dynamic
movements caused by driving with and handling of a heavy
load. Do not extend the telescopic boom when the load
approaches the lifting capacity of the loader, or when the
loader boom is in horizontal position. When you notice that
the rear wheels of the loader are about to lift from the ground,
or if the load indicator of the loader (if fitted) signals:

Lower the load calmly and retract the telescopic boom

Avoid sudden changes in speed or direction whenever load is lifted

Use additional counterweights as needed
