WARNING

 

 

Pay attention to the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the 

vicinity. Other persons must keep safety distance of 5 meters. 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. 

 

 

 

Never use the attachment to lift or to transport persons or as any kind of work 

platform even temporarily. 

 

 

 

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. 

 

 

 

Shut down the loader and place the attachment to a safe position as shown in Safe 

stopping procedure before any cleaning, maintenance, or adjustments. 

 

 

 

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 to a safe position before leaving the 
driver’s seat. 

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.
