Safety instructions for using the attachment
Please bear in mind that safety is the result of several factors. The loader-attachment combination is highly
powerful and improper or careless use or maintenance may cause serious personal injury or property
damage. Due to this, all operators must carefully familiarise themselves about correct use and the operator's
manuals of both the loader and the attachment before starting operation. Do not use the attachment if you
have not completely familiarised yourself with its operation and the related hazards.
DANGER
Misuse, careless use, or using an attachment that is in poor condition, may
cause risk of serious injuries.
Familiarise yourself with the controls of the loader,
correct coupling procedure, and the correct way to operate the attachment at a safe
area. Study especially how to stop the equipment in a safe manner. Read all safety
precautions carefully.
Read all safety instructions carefully before handling the attachment
WARNING
When attaching an attachment to the loader,
ensure that the locking pins of the
loader's quick attach plate are in the lower position and that they have locked
the attachment to the loader.
Never lift or move an unlocked attachment.
The Backhoe 210 is designed to be used by one operator at a time. Do not let others
near the danger area of the equipment when it is in use.
Always transport the attachment as low as possible to keep the centre of gravity low,
and keep the telescopic boom retracted during driving.
Risk of electric shock - Plan all excavation tasks ahead before you dig!
Find out
about the possibility of having any electric cable, gas pipe, water pipe,
communications cable or similar buried in the ground. Consult local authorities,
electric, water, telecommunications, and gas companies, and other relevant sources
before starting to use the equipment. Your area may also have a specific hotline or
helpdesk available, or a special permit may be required. If uncertain in any way, seek
for more information before starting to dig.
Risk of collision - Prevent accidental movements.
Turn the auxiliary hydraulics
control lever of the loader to its neutral position immediately after active use of the
backhoe to prevent accidental movements of the backhoe.
Risk of crushing and falling objects - The attachment must not be used for any
other purposes than intended.
Never use the attachment to lift objects or loads
other than materials that are normally handled with a bucket. Never suspend any
loads or attach any other tools than a bucket.
Tipping over hazard - Note that the excavation or trench may suddenly cave in.
Exercise extreme caution when driving near ditches or embankments, and avoid
driving along a ditch or trench, as the machine could suddenly tip over if an edge
caves in. Avoid driving along trenches and keep at least a distance equal to width of
a trench.
Crushing hazard - Make sure that the bucket is securely fitted.
Loose or falling
bucket can cause serious injuries.
Risk of crushing - Keep in mind that the loader and backhoe booms can be
lowered or tilted even if the engine has been shut down.
Never leave the driver’s
seat when the bucket is lifted off from the ground. Keep hands and feet away from
moving parts.
