2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Accident hazard!
The wheel loaders may only be used with operating permits compliant with road traffic regulations on suitable
public areas!
Please observe all safety instructions - in particular organizational safety instructions and safety instructions for
personnel selection and qualifications are fundamental duties!
• Observe the safety regulations.
• Adhere to the inspection instructions and the operating instructions.
• Only use the wheel loader and the associated attachments as intended and in perfect technical condition.
• Adhere to the allowable operating loads.
• Observe the applicable regulations of the relevant professional association
2.1 Organizational measures
The following safety instructions are intended for the wheel loader's user or operator:
• The operating instructions should always be kept nearby.
• Always observe generally applicable legal and other binding regulations on road traffic, compulsory insurance,
environmental protection and accident prevention.
• This applies in particular with regard to the maximum design speed and the allowable gross weight.
• When handling substances hazardous to health, protective clothing must be worn.
• The authorized personnel or the users of the wheel loader must have read the operating instructions, especially
section 1. "BASIC INFORMATION", before starting work. This is especially the case for occasional staff.
(e.g. servicing)
• Please observe all safety and hazard warnings on the wheel loader and in the operating instructions.
• All safety and hazard warnings on the machine must be completely maintained in a legible condition.
• In the case of safety-relevant modifications to the wheel loader or its operating responses, the wheel loader
must be shut down immediately and the fault eliminated.
• No modifications, attachments or conversions to the wheel loader, which impair its safety, may be made
without permission from the manufacturer! This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety
equipment and valves, as well as to welding on load-bearing parts.
• Replacement parts, operating resources and ancillary materials must comply with the technical requirements
specified by the manufacturer. This is always the case for original spare parts.
• The hydraulic hoses must be replaced at the specified intervals, even if no safety-relevant defects can be
identified.
• Deadlines for recurring tests/inspections must be observed.
