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 Drum type concrete mixer 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.
The mixer is intended to be use
d by one adult operator at a time. Prevent others from
entering the work area or getting near the loader when in use. Pay attention to the
surroundings and other persons and machines moving in the vicinity. Always make
sure that it is safe to move with the machine. Always keep a minimum safety distance
of at least one metre from other persons. When driving, pay attention to the contours
of the terrain and, for example, holes or loose rocks, as well as other hazards, such
as branches and trees reaching the driver's area.
Keep hands away from moving parts. Never reach into the mixer drum if the drum
can start by accident. Make sure that, for example, loose clothing can’t get entangled
with the rotating mixer.
Note the recommended and maximum operating speeds. Do not rotate the mixer at
higher than recommended speed, the material will not get mixed, and the mixer can
throw material out, or it may get damaged.
Before starting the concrete mixer, make sure that there are no foreign objects in the
drum that could be ejected from the attachment or that could damage the mixer.
When taking the concrete mixer off from the loader, ensure that it is secured against
accidental movement. To prevent the attachment from tipping over, lower it on even
surface and use blocks of wood as necessary.
Use the concrete mixer for its intended use only. Check the mixing tools and the
inside of the drum regularly. Read the instructions on maintenance and servicing and
only use original spare parts.
Operate the controls of the loade
r in a slow and calm manner. Be careful when lifting
load to high level or lifting load from high. Avoid sudden changes in speed or
direction to maintain balance of the loader especially when handling heavy loads.
Drive slowly and carefully especially on inclined terrain or slippery surfaces.
