General safety instructions
• Never drive up to the edge of a pit from outside – danger of cave-in!
• Do not drive underneath projecting earth. Stones or the projecting earth can fall onto
the machine.
• When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and the structure
itself before starting work. The building can collapse, causing severe injury and
damage.
• Do not place the machine directly underneath the workplace during demolition,
otherwise demolished parts can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse,
causing severe injury or damage.
• Operation of the machine by unauthorised staff is prohibited!
• The hydraulic system of the machine is still pressurised even when the engine is not
running! Release the pressure in the sections of the system and hydraulic lines which
are to be opened before starting setup or repair work.
• Before dumping out the skip next to an excavation, secure the machine with suitable
wheel chocks or other auxiliary means.
• Always watch the material as you dump out the skip: make sure the material is dumped
out evenly and does not remain stuck in the skip, otherwise the machine could tip over
• Do not dump the load when working on sloping ground.
• No transporting of persons, animals etc. in the skip.
• Driving with a dumped-out skip is prohibited!
• Always carry out precise and smooth control movements, do not carry out abrupt
movements.

• Avoid dangerous work conditions on the work site, do not work in severe weather and
make sure no-one is at risk.
