Safety instructions 2
• 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 attachments/work equipment close to the ground.
This also applies to downhill machine travel.
When travelling or working across a slope, the load must be on the uphill side of the machine!
• On sloping terrain always adapt the travel speed to the prevailing ground conditions!
Never change to lower gear on a slope but always before reaching it!
• Before leaving the operator seat always secure the machine against unintentional
movement and unauthorized use!
Lower the work equipment/attachments to the ground
• Before starting work check whether:
• all safety devices are properly installed and functional
• and an approved warning triangle, hazard warning light and first aid kit are at hand!
• Before moving the machine or before taking up work:
• Ensure that visibility is sufficient (do not forget rearview mirrors!)
• Adjust correct seat position (you must be able to press the brake pedal as far as it will go).
Never adjust the operator seat during machine travel or operation!
• Fasten your seat belt
• Inspect the immediate area (children!)
On the job site the operator is responsible for third parties!
• Caution when handling fuel – increased risk 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!
• Never get on or off a moving machine! Never jump off the machine!
• Should the lights of the machine not be sufficient for performing work safely, provide
additional lighting of the job site.
• Installed work lights must not be switched on for travel on public roads.
They can be switched on in work operation if users of public roads are not dazzled!
• Hydrostatic 4 wheel steering takes time getting used to it. Therefore, adjust the travel
speed to your abilities and the circumstances. Selection and change of steering mode
at machine standstill only!
