3. Safety instructions for using the attachment
Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly
powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property
damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's
manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you
have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.
DANGER
Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition, may
cause risk of serious injuries.
Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader,
correct coupling procedure, and the correct way to operate the attachment at a safe
area. Study especially how to stop the equipment in a safe manner. Read all safety
precautions carefully.
Read all safety instructions carefully before handling the attachment
WARNING

When attaching an attachment to the loader, ensure that the locking pins of the
loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked
the attachment to the loader. Never lift or move an unlocked attachment.

The Collecting broom 1100 is designed to be used by one operator at a time. Do not
let others near the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.

Always transport the attachment as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity low,
and keep the telescopic boom retracted during driving.

Never leave the driver’s seat when the broom is running or when the auxiliary
hydraulics control lever of the loader is locked on and keep a safety distance of at
least two metres from activated broom. Keep hands and feet away from moving
parts.

Beware of entanglement and severing hazards and possible debris thrown by the
broom.

Lower the attachment firmly on the ground before leaving the driver’s seat. Make
sure that the attachment is properly supported during any maintenance or
inspections. Do not leave the driver’s seat when the loader boom is lifted. 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.

Beware of the crushing hazard of the moving broom shaft, always lower the broom
completely, or use appropriate supports, if it is necessary to handle the broom while
lifted.

Be sure not to tilt the attachment too far up to prevent the broom from tilting over the
tipping point of the hinged quick attach plate.

Keep in mind that the broom may throw material or objects at high speed. Do not
operate the equipment, if the broom cover is not in place.

Shut down the loader and place the attachment to a safe position as shown in Safe
stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments.

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.
