INTRODUCTION, SAFETY, PLATES AND DECALS
1-11
If your machine comes into contact with electric
lines:
- do not leave the machine;
- drive the machine out of the hazard area;
- warn others against approaching and touching the
machine;
- have the live wire de-energized;
- do not leave the machine until the damaged line
has been safely de-energized.
Make sure you know the location of pipes and
cables before starting work. Electrical cables, gas
pipes, water pipes or other underground installa-
tions can cause serious physical injury.
Do not allow anyone to stand in the machine work-
ing area. If the operator carries out a wrong
manoeuvre, this could cause an accident. Stop all
movement until the person has moved away.
Before moving the stabilizers make sure that no
person is within the working range of the stabilizers.
When moving the machine onto a trailer, place the
gearshift lever in first gear. Keep the loader bucket
20 cm (7.8 ft) from the ground.
Load lifting must be carried out in accordance with
the instructions shown in this manual and in accord-
ance with current regulations.
Before using the backhoe attachment make sure
that the machine is clear of the ground by means of
the stabilizers and the loader attachment.
Any uncontrolled movement of the machine can
cause an accident. Before turning the operator’s
seat to the backhoe attachment working position, it
is essential to place the direction-of-travel control
lever and the gearshift lever in neutral position and
to immobilize the machine by means of the parking
brake lever.
If you are using the backhoe attachment or if you
are carrying out maintenance operations, use the
engine accelerator knob/lever. The use of the knob/
lever for any other operation can cause accidents.
In case of any operational problem or damage,
lower the loader attachment and the backhoe
attachment to the ground, stop the engine, remove
the starter switch key and raise the parking brake
lever. Find the cause of the defect or inform respon-
sible personnel. Take measures to prevent the use
of the machine.
When the machine is being lifted, nobody must be
allowed to remain in the area surrounding the
machine.
“GLIDE RIDE” SYSTEM (Optional)
Never operate the “glide ride” lever when the loader
arms and the loader bucket are maintaining the
machine in a raised position. The machine could fall
to the ground and cause serious or fatal injury.
If the “glide ride” lever is operated when the starter
switch key is in the ON position, the loader arms
may rise or lower slightly due to the effect of the
hydraulic accumulator.
Never use the “glide ride” system during precise lev-
elling operations or when using the backhoe attach-
ment.
