PERSONAL PROTECTION
Always use suitable protection equipment. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery while
working with the equipment. Long hair should be tied up when working with equipment
that has moving parts. Use protective gloves to avoid the risk of burns if hot surfaces such
as exhaust pipes are touched, and to avoid oil and petrol getting in contact with the skin. Ear
defenders must be worn whilst the engine is running. Helmets with ear defenders must be
used while working to prevent knocks from the cabin sides and suchlike in uneven terrain.
Wear protective boots with anti-slip soles.
SURROUNDINGS
Check that the work area is free from bystanders, children and objects before hitching or
using the equipment. There is a risk of serious injury. Be extra careful if there are children in
the vicinity of the area where the equipment or product is used or stored. Check that there
are no low-hanging electrical cables within the work area. Exercise caution when working on
slopes and close to ditches. Always work alone with equipment or products that are made for
working alone. Remove all rubbish from your work area. Keep work areas clean. Always respect
the equipment's risk zone.

of the equipment or product before use. Repair or replace damaged or worn parts to reduce
the risk of injury. Grease moving parts and check that all nuts and bolts are tightened. Correct
