Safety instructions
• 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
driving downhill!
When driving or working across a slope, the load must be on the uphill side of the
machine!
• 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/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:
• Make sure 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 seat when driving or working!
• Fasten your seat belt
• Inspect the immediate area (children!)
In the work area the operator is responsible for third parties!
• Caution when handling fuel – increased danger of fire!
Make sure 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 carrying out work safely, provide
additional lighting of the work area!
• 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 drive
speed to your abilities and the circumstances. Selection and change of steering mode
at machine standstill only!
