3. Right side
4. Left side
BEFORE SETTING OFF
Remove any soil, mud, snow, ice, grease and oil
from your working footwear before operating the
machine. You might otherwise slip from steps and
pedals and thus initiate inadvertent movements.
Warn persons in the immediate vicinity by sounding
the horn before setting off.
TRAVELLING OVER LONG DISTANCES OFF
ROAD
Before travelling over long distances:
- return the front attachment in the travel direction;
- activate the upper structure holding brake in
locked mode.
TRAVELLING ON SLOPES
Never drive across slopes or turn the machine on a
slope.
The machine may slip or overturn.
Take special care on slippery soils.
Ensure that the tyres offer adequate grip. Only then
are the steering and braking properties of the
machine maintained.
TAKING A BEND
Reduce the machine speed while taking a bend. If
the speed is too high and the steering wheel is
wrenched round, there is a risk of the machine over-
turning (due to a wheel of the rigid axle being lifted
off the ground). Extremely hard braking while taking
a bend may also cause the machine to overturn.
