Do not use the backhoe on horizontally tilted terrain. Ensure the stability of the backhoe
and the load carrying capacity of the ground even at level terrains.

When working, pay attention to the contours of the terrain and other hazards, such as
rocks or branches and trees reaching the driver's seat. Pay attention to the
surroundings and any other persons and machines moving in the vicinity.

the centre of gravity low. For transporting, turn the boom of the backhoe to the position
shown in section 6.

•
Shut down the loader engine before any cleaning, maintenance or adjustments. Ensure

has been stopped. Never go under a raised boom or the attachment. Lower the
backhoe on the ground before leaving the driver’s seat.
Familiarise yourself with the loader controls in a safe area. Pay particular attention to
the safe stopping of the attachment and the machine.
