Safety Information
Work area awareness • Familiarize yourself with the surroundings and circumstances of the work site before
beginning work. Be aware of:
• obstacles in the working and traveling area
• the soil bearing capacity
• any necessary barriers separating the work site from public roads
• Always keep at a safe distance from the edges of building pits and slopes.
• Look out for the following when working in buildings or in enclosed areas:
• height of the ceiling/clearances
• width of entrances
• maximum load of ceilings and floors
• sufficient room ventilation—danger of carbon monoxide poisoning!
• Observe the danger area. See “Danger area awareness”.
• Always use the rearview mirror.
• Always switch on the work lights in conditions of poor visibility and after dark. However,
make sure that users of public roads will not be temporarily blinded by the work lights.
• Provide additional lighting of the work area if the lights of the machine are not sufficient
for carrying out work safely.
Danger area awareness • The danger area is the area in which persons are in danger due to the movements of
the machine, work equipment, additional equipment, or material.
• The danger area also includes the area affected by falling material, equipment or
construction debris. The danger area must be extended by 0.5 m (20 inches) in the
immediate vicinity of buildings, scaffolds, or other elements of construction.
• Seal off the danger area if it is not possible to keep a safe distance. Stop work immedi-
ately if persons do not leave the danger area in spite of warnings!
Operating the machine • Never operate the machine if you are standing on the ground.
• Operate the machine ONLY when you are seated and you have fastened your seat
belt. Switch off the engine before releasing the seat belt.
• On sloping terrain, adapt your drive speed to the prevailing ground conditions.
• Never get on or off a moving machine, and Never jump off the machine.
Carrying passengers • Always adapt your drive speed to the road and ground conditions, and to the visibility
conditions. Ask for help in navigating difficult passages or obstacles. To avoid tipping
the dumper, drive appropriately and slowly as conditions dictate. This applies in
particular to rough terrain, the edges of trenches, curves and emergency braking. Use
only the low speed range when driving off-road (see the turtle indicator on the
instrument panel).
• 6001 Dumper: Proceed with extreme care when driving on slopes. The dumper can be
driven on firm ground in all positions on slopes up to 25%.
• Make sure the engine cover is closed and locked before starting the dumper.
• Apply the parking brake when parking the machine. If possible, do not park the dumper
on slopes. If this cannot be avoided, use wheel chocks, etc. Lower the skip before
leaving the dumper. Apply the parking brake only in an emergency when driving the
machine.
