0 - 17
Carefully read personal and machine SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (at the beginning of this manual)
DRIVING
BEFORE SETTING OFF
Clean off any earth, mud, snow, ice,
grease and oil adhering to your
working footwear before operating
the machine. There is otherwise a
risk of slipping off the pedals and in-
itiating inadvertent movements.
Adjust the driver’s seat, steering
column and mirrors and fasten the
safety belt before setting off.
Do not let other persons accompany
you on the machine.
Warn anyone in the vicinity with the
horn before setting off.
DO NOT TOW TRAILERS
The machine is not suited for towing
trailers or other vehicles. Risk of
damage to gearboxes and axles.
The tow-bar coupling is provided
only for towing or recovering the ma-
chine out of hazard areas or for fas-
tening of the machine on transport
vehicles; see also "Machine re-
covery / towing".
DRIVING ON SLOPES
Make sure the wheels have sufficient
grip; only then are the machine’s full
steering and braking capabilities
available.
Do not drive across slopes.
Never turn on slopes.
Never steer with the pivot steering on
slopes.
REVERSING
During reversing operations, your
view of the hazard zone is restricted.
Therefore, seek the assistance of ex-
perienced marshallers. Instruct the
marshaller in order to ensure that
you understand his signals cor-
rectly.
PARKING THE MACHINE
Machines parked on sloping terrain
may start moving inadvertently.
Park the machine therefore on a level
surface and lower the working equip-
ment to the ground.
DRIVING LONG DISTANCES
The blade must not interfere with the
steering range of the front wheels or
with the steering linkage.
Do not start the machine when the
central warning lamp is flashing; lo-
cate the cause of the fault before-
hand and rectify.
When driving on public roads:
- Observe the requirements of the
machine’s g eneral operating
permit.
- Close the cab door.
- The first-aid kit, the warning tri-
angle and the warning lamp must
be on board.
- Check that the contents of the first-
aid kit is complete, replacing
missing or old parts.
Check when the engine is running:
- When making short left / right turns
the steering wheel must move
easily and the steering must react.
- After driving a short distance, the
braking effect of the service brake
must be tested.
Never idle the machine with the gear
lever in neutral position, e.g. when
driving downhill.
When driving with the door open, it
must be locked in its limit position.
Bring the machine to operating tem-
perature as described in the "Opera-
tion and Maintenance Istruction
Manual - Warming up the machine"
before setting off.
Never demand full performance from
the engine unless the machine is at
operating temperature.
