Safety Instructions Regarding Operation
Preparing for use
• Keep the machine clean. This reduces the risk of fire hazards (such as from combus-
tible materials like rags), and reduces injury or operational accident hazard that can be
caused by dirt build-up on the travel pedals, mirrors or foot rests and steps.
• Observe all safety, warning, and information signs and labels on the machine.
• Start and operate the machine from the seat only.
• The operator must sit in the seat, fasten and adjust the seat belt and check if all mirrors
are adjusted correctly before putting the machine into operation.
• Always adjust the seat position before starting work. Never change the seat position
when operating the machine.
• Make sure that all safety devices are properly installed and functional before starting
work.
• Before putting the machine/attachment into operation (starting/moving), ensure that no
one in the immediate vicinity will be at risk.
Starting and stopping
• Perform starting and stopping procedures according to this Operator's Manual.
• Observe all indicator lights.
• Do not use starting fluid (for example, ether) especially in those cases in which a heater
plug (intake air pre-heating) is used at the same time – explosion hazard.
• Make sure the brakes, the steering, the travel pedals, the control levers and the
signalling and light systems are functional before operating the machine, and also
before restarting after an interruption of work.
• Fold up the lock lever base before releasing the seat belt in order to avoid unintentional
operation.
• Lower the attachments to the ground.
