when driving or working!

work.
• Before putting the machine/attachment into operation (startup/moving), make sure that
no one in the immediate vicinity will be at risk.
Startup and shutdown
• Perform startup and shutdown procedures according to this Operator's Manual.

heater plug (intake air pre-heating) is used at the same time.
• Make sure the drive levers, the signaling and the light systems are functional before
operating the machine, and also before restarting after a work interruption.
