mation concerning the optimal economical use of
the machine.
Environment
Sections marked like this highlight activities
for the safe and environmental disposal of fu-
els and lubricants as well as replaced parts.

tions.
Information and safety stickers/decals
on the machine
Keep stickers/decals complete (see spare parts
catalogue) and fully legible and observe their
meaning.
Replace damaged or illegible stickers/decals im-
mediately.
Loading the machine
Use only strong and stable loading ramps. The
ramp inclination must be lower than the gradability
of the machine.
Secure the machine against turning over or slip-
ping off.
Secure the machine on the transport vehicle
against rolling off, slipping and turning over.
Persons are highly endangered if
l
they step or stand under loads being lifted
l
they remain in the drive range of the machine
during a demonstration or during loading.
The machine must not swing about when lifted off
the ground.
Use only safe lifting gear of sufficient load bearing
capacity.
Attach the lifting gear only to the specified lifting
points.
Towing the machine
You should generally use a tow bar.
Max. towing speed 1 km/h (1.6 mph), max. towing
distance 500 m (1640 ft.).
Before releasing the multi-disc brakes secure the
machine properly against unintended rolling.
Checking the Roll Over Protection
Structure (ROPS)
i
Note
On machines with cabin the ROPS is an integral
part of the cabin.
The machine frame must not be distorted, bent or
cracked in the area of the ROPS fastening points.
The ROPS must not show any signs of corrosion,
damage, hairline cracks or open fractures.
The ROPS must not rattle about during driving.
This would mean that it is not properly fastened.
All bolted connections must be in accordance with
the prescribed specifications and correctly tight-
ened (observe the tightening torque values).
Screws and nuts must not be damaged, bent or
deformed.
With the cabin installed check also the condition of
the cabin mounts (rubber elements and screws).
Neither must any additional parts be welded or
bolted on, nor must any holes be drilled without the
permission of the manufacturer, since this may im-
pair the strength of the structure.
