PERSONAL PROTECTION
Always use suitable protection equipment. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery while
working with the equipment. Long hair should be tied up when working with equipment that
has moving parts.
STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE USE
Carefully read the instruction manual. Make sure that you understand the instruction manual
and warning decals. Use common sense when using the product and suitable personal pro-
tective equipment. Always check the performance of the machine combination to be used. It
is important that these are in harmony and work satisfactorily together. This is done to ensure
the equipment works as expected, and to guarantee the safety of yourself and others. Carry
out a visual inspection of the equipment or product before use. Repair or replace damaged or
worn parts to reduce the risk of injury.
Grease moving parts and check that all nuts and bolts are tightened. Correct if necessary.
Learn and remember the correct working method. Beginners must work slowly until they
have learned how the machine or product works. Users/customers are responsible for ensur-
ing users can handle the situation. If users feel that the machine is dangerous to use, it should
not be used.
Warning!
Compliance with the safety instructions requires
that the product is only used as described in these
instructions. It is the user’s responsibility to read
through the instructions and comply with them.
USE/OPERATION
Only those who understand the safety instructions and the instruction manual may use the
equipment. Exercise caution and care when working with the equipment and only use it in the
way described in the instruction manual. Avoid using the equipment at temperatures lower
than -20°C and higher than +30°C.
There is a risk of crushing when working with equipment that has moving parts. Exercise cau-
tion when working with equipment with hydraulic hoses as oil under pressure can penetrate
the skin. Immediately seek medical attention if this should occur.
As hydraulic systems are never 100% sealed, they must be inspected prior to loading the
equipment. Leaks can arise from internal leaks in tractor valves, electrical valves on front-
loaders, internal leaks in the equipment’s hydraulic cylinders etc. Check for any leaks by fully
extending the equipment’s cylinders and maintaining pressure or up to one minute. If the
cylinder starts to move in the opposite direction, a seal is leaking. Replace the seal or cylinder.
Always work alone with equipment that is made for working alone. Never overload the equip-
ment and respect its risk zone.
