Safety instructions
• No lifting, lowering or carrying persons!
• Installing a man basket or a working platform is prohibited!
• When crossing underpasses, bridges and tunnels, or when passing under overhead
lines always ensure that there is enough clearance!
• Always keep a safe distance from the edges of building pits and slopes!
• When working in buildings or in enclosed areas, look out for:
• Height of the ceiling/clearances
• Width of entrances
• Maximum load of ceilings and floors
• Sufficient room ventilation – danger of poisoning!
• Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability!
• During operation on slopes, drive or work uphill or downhill. If driving across a slope
cannot be avoided, bear in mind the tilting limit of the machine! Always keep the work
equipment close to the ground! This also applies to driving downhill! When driving or
working across a slope, the load must be on the uphill side of the machine.
• If the skip is
less
than half full, drive backwards uphill or forwards downhill.
• If the skip is
more
than half full, drive forwards uphill or backwards downhill.
• On sloping terrain always adapt your drive speed to the prevailing ground conditions!
Never change to lower gear on a slope but always before reaching it!
• Before leaving the seat always secure the machine against unintentional movement
and unauthorised use!
Lower the work equipment to the ground
• The machine has no FOPS protection. Therefore, do not use the machine in areas with
danger of falling objects!
• Before starting work check whether
• all safety devices are properly installed and functional
• Before moving the machine or before taking up work:
• Ensure that visibility is sufficient
• Inspect the immediate area (children!)
• In the work area the operator is responsible for third parties!
• Caution when handling fuel – increased danger of fire!
• Ensure that fuel does not come into contact with hot parts!
Do not smoke during refuelling, and avoid fire and sparks. Stop the engine during
refuelling and do not smoke!
• Operation in potentially explosive areas is forbidden.
• Never get on or off a moving machine! Never jump off the machine!
• The drive levers take time getting used to them. Drive speed must be adapted to your
skills and to the prevailing conditions.
