If possible, inspect in advance the terrain on the
route to be taken, particularly during the winter,
when snow may cover unevenness in the ground.
Note the slope of the terrain and its inuence on
the stability of the tractor.
Be aware of the total height of the grab-loader and
load, before driving anywhere with height restric-
tions. Pay particular attention to any temporary
structures, sagging overhead lines, etc.
Never load the trailer above the height of the load
protection.
Never allow children to stay in the cab or in the vi-
cinity of the machine, when the engine is running.
WORKING CLOSE TO OVERHEAD
LINES
When you are working in the vicinity of elec-
tric overhead lines, no part of the machine or
the load must come closer to the line than the
distances given in the following:
Low voltage 2 metres
High voltage <40 kV 4 metres
High voltage >40 kV 6 metres
If it is difcult to follow the above-mentioned
safety regulations, contact the owner of the over-
head line in order to de-energize it. Under no cir-
cumstances whatsoever can you rely on good luck
when working close to an overhead line. Where
applicable, material must be moved by some other
means a sufcient distance from the overhead line
before it is loaded.
When driving in forests and along forest roads,
remember that it is difcult to see an overhead line
crossing the route. In addition, the line may be
sagging heavily due to snow and ice.
ELECTRICITY DOES NOT NEED ANY DI-
RECT CONTACT. A HIGH VOLTAGE CAN
JUMP ACROSS EVEN LONGER DISTANCES.
