ROAD OPERATION
(4WS) before undertaking any road travel, select the
2 wheel steer mode and lift the cover to lock the
switch in this position.
Before undertaking any road travel, make sure that
the 4WD is disengaged, make sure that the brake
pedals are locked together and that both cab doors
are correctly closed.
Before undertaking any travel on public highway,
lock the working attachments and install the safety
systems required by regulations. Raise the stabiliz-
ers completely and lock them mechanically.
Before travelling on the road, make sure that the
load on each axle, depending on the machine con-
figuration, conforms to the road traffic regulations of
the country concerned.
JOB SITE OPERATION
Operating the machine requires your full attention.
Caution on the part of the operator can prevent acci-
dents. Make sure you know the capabilities and lim-
its of the machine and the space needed for it to
operate. There are areas of poor visibility in the
machine’s working range. Have someone guide you
for all jobs which have poor visibility.
Check all around the machine every day to ensure
there are no oil leaks or hydraulic fluid leaks.
Tighten unions as necessary and replace any parts
as required.
Make sure you know the hand signals used on your
job site so that you can be guided when making del-
icate manoeuvres or for work where direct visibility
is not available.
Check that all the controls and all the safety devices
operate correctly in a safe, clear area before begin-
ning work.
Keep away from dangerous areas such as ditches,
over-hangs, soft areas, etc.
Walk around the work site before using the machine
and look for hazards.
Inspect and note all possible risks before driving the
machine into a new working area. Holes, obstacles,
debris and other hazards in the working area can
cause serious physical injury.
