Introduction 3
Improper use
Not using the machine according to its designated use means that it is
used for an application that is not specified by the manufacturer.
Therefore, this is misuse in the terms of the Machine Guideline.
Alone the user, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable for damage
resulting from this.
Misapplications with the machine are, for example:
• Use of surfaces and spaces that are not described as work or
maintenance spaces in the Operator’s Manual.
• Machine travel with liquid material in the bucket.
• Machine and attachment modifications without proper authority.
• Fastening/installation of additional equipment that has not been
certified or released.
• Use for spraying applications.
• Use for forestry applications.
• Use for below-ground or mining applications.
• Use in contaminated areas.
• Use as a carrier machine for equipment that has not been certified/
released by the manufacturer.
• Use in stretches of water or flood areas.
• Transport of persons.
• Installation of work platforms.
• Raising heavy loads (overload).
• Machine operation although the machine operator is not on the
operator seat.
• Adjustment, cleaning and maintenance contrary to the instructions
given in the Operator’s Manual.
• Troubleshooting and maintenance with running drives and/or a running
diesel engine.
• Failure to follow warning instructions on the machine and in the
Operator’s Manual.
• Maintenance and repair work by untrained personnel.
• Use of non-original spare parts.
The vehicle is not approved for being lifted by hoists. No hooks, eyelets,
etc., may be installed on the attachments or loader unit!
Failure to observe this results in loss of warranty, liability and certification
for the machine.
