• The load shall be kept as close to the surface as practical to accom-
plish the craning operation. The operator shall gently move the controls
and machine to avoid swing or oscillating motion of the load. A tether
line is recommended to dampen the tendency of the load to swing or
oscillate during the craning operation.
• Machine travel with a raised load must be done very carefully on a
level surface moving very slowly to avoid sudden motion that can
cause swinging or oscillating motion of the load.
• The person(s) attaching the load to the excavator shall approach only if
the operator is in visual contact with them. No one shall approach the
machine or attempt to attach the load until the excavator has stopped
and the operator has signaled for the attachment.

• Prior to traveling remove all attachments which cannot be secured in
compliance with the legal regulations of your country.

different option attachments and counter weights. The operator shall
be familiar with the variations and act accordingly.
• Use only approved attachments and connecting hardware.
• Attach and remove attachments carefully to avoid damage and
potential injury.
• Attach and remove attachments carefully to avoid damage and

• Confirm that the attachment has been properly and securely attached
to the machine according to the instructions. Before using the
attachment, the operator shall confirm that the attachment performs
correctly in response to control actuation.
• Do not attach the attachment with the engine running and the machine
moving.
• Before putting the machine/attachment into operation (startup/moving),
make sure that no one in the immediate vicinity will be at risk.

ground.
• Mount the attachments only if the engine and the traveling drive have
been stopped.
• Especially when traveling or operating machines equipped with a
quickhitch for the attachments, make sure the attachment is securely
locked in the quickhitch. The lock pin must be visible on either side of
the bores on the attachment. Check before starting work.
Installation notes
• Couple and uncouple hydraulic hoses/lines (hydraulic quick couplers) only if the engine
is stopped and the controls actuated to release the hydraulic pressure remaining in the
circuit. Follow the operating instructions for releasing the pressure.
• Operate the machine only if all protective devices for the attachments have been
installed and are functional, and if all brake, light and hydraulic connections have been
connected.
• If an optional attachment is installed, make sure that all lights and associated indicator
lights are installed and functional.
