Always transport the mixer as low and as close to the machine as possible to keep the
centre of gravity low.
•
When filling the concrete mixer as a normal concrete mixer, keep it securely against the
ground and attached to the loader.
•
Watch out for the hazard getting entangled around the mixing shaft. Always keep the
safety grille in place when operating the mixer.
•
Before starting the concrete mixer, make sure that there is no cured concrete or other
foreign objects in the bucket that could get ejected from the attachment or that could
damage the mixer.
•
Shut down the loader engine before any maintenance or adjustments. Ensure that the
attachment is properly supported during maintenance, inspections or cleaning.
•
Never go under a raised concrete mixer or the loader boom.
•
When driving with the bucket attached, pay attention to the contours of the terrain and
other hazards, such as branches and trees reaching the driver's seat. Pay attention to
the surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the vicinity.
•
When taking the concrete mixer off from the loader, ensure that it is secured against
accidental movement. To prevent the attachment from tipping over, lower it on even
surface. Ensure that the concrete mixer is supported properly during storage periods.
•
Do not modify the structure of the attachment in a manner that would affect its safety.
Use the concrete mixer for its intended use only.
•
Check the mixing tools regularly. Read the instructions on maintenance and servicing
and only use original spare parts.
•
Also read the safety instructions for the loader in the loader manual.
Watch out for crushing hazard under the loader boom or crushing under or in front of
the attachment. Note that the loader boom moves down and may be tilted even if the
engine has been stopped. Never go under a raised boom or to the danger area
between the boom and the attachment. Avoid staying directly in front of the mixer.
Improper or careless use of the mixer may cause hazardous situations. Use the mixer
only for preparing concrete or plaster from raw materials suitable for this purpose.
Familiarise yourself with the loader controls in a safe area. Pay particular attention to
the safe stopping of the attachment and the machine.
Never leave the machine unattended while the engine is running. Prevent unauthorized
use of the equipment.
Note the effects of a heavy load to the handling
charasteristics of the loader. Estimate the load
beforehand; typical density of concrete is around
2400 kg/m³. When driving, keep the telescopic
boom retracted and keep the load close to the
ground. Use additional counterweights as needed.
Read the operator’s manual of the loader.
