General safety instructions
• Never drive up to the edge of a pit from outside – risk of cave-in!
• Never undermine the foundations of walls – danger of collapse!
• Do not load under projecting earth. Stones or the projecting earth can fall onto the
machine.
• Do not excavate deeply under the front side of the machine. The ground under the
machine could collapse and cause it to tip over.
• Do not perform demolition work below the machine, otherwise it can lose its balance
and tip over.
• When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and the structure
itself before starting work. The building can collapse, causing serious injury and
damage.
• Do not position the machine directly underneath the workplace during demolition,
otherwise demolished parts can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse,
causing serious injury or damage.
• Do not use the impact force of the attachment to perform demolition work. Demolished
parts can cause injury or damage to property or the equipment.
• The machine can lose its balance and tip over if a demolition hammer or other heavy
attachment is used. Proceed as follows to perform work both on level ground and on
slopes:
☞
Never lower, turn or set down the attachment abruptly.
☞
Do not extend or retract the bucket cylinder abruptly, otherwise the machine can tip over.
• Do not raise the loader unit and the attachment over the heads of other workers or over
the seats of trucks or of other means of transport. The material can tip over, or the
attachment can knock against the truck and cause serious injury or damage.
• Operation of the machine by unauthorized personnel is prohibited!
• Look out for high-voltage cables, underground cables, gas and water pipes during
excavation work!
The hydraulic system of the machine is still pressurized even when the engine is not
running! Release the pressure in the sections of the system and hydraulic lines that are to
be opened before starting setup or repair work, for example fitting/removing an attachment
with hydraulic functions.
