Safety Information
• Always adjust the seat position before starting work. Never change the seat position
when driving or working!
• Make sure that all safety devices are properly installed and functional before starting
work.
• Before putting the machine/attachment into operation (startup/moving), make sure that
no one in the immediate vicinity will be at risk.
Starting and stopping • Perform starting and stopping procedures according to this Operator’s Manual.
• Observe all indicator lights.
• Do not use starting fluid (for example, ether) especially in those cases in which a heater
plug (intake air pre-heating) is used at the same time.
• Make sure the control levers, the signaling and the light systems are functional before
operating the machine, and also before restarting after an interruption of work.
• Fold up the control lever base before releasing the seat belt in order to avoid
unintentional operation.
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”.
• Use the rearview mirror to stay aware of work area obstacles and personnel.
• 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 performing 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
immediately 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. Stop the engine before releasing the seat belt.
