In order to avoid injuries, fasten the seat belt (lap belt) when driving the wheel
loader!
☞ Bear in mind the following when fastening the seat belt:
• The seat belt must not be twisted as you fasten it!

always be applied tightly!
• Do not place the seat belt over hard, edged or fragile items (tools, meter
rule, glasses, pen) carried inside your clothes!
• Never buckle up several persons!
• Check the condition of the seat belt regularly. Have damaged seat belts
immediately replaced by an authorised workshop!

new one by an authorised workshop!
