10.4 Ideal body position when 
working
The ideal body position helps to 
reduce fatigue during working.
For this purpose, the machine settings 
(handlebar height adjustment, brake spur 
adjustment) should be selected so that a 
straight posture (back) can be maintained 
during the entire operating period.
Ideal body position:
– straight back
– straight legs
– lower arms bent slightly downwards
11.1 Preparatory measures
