Safety Information
Special operating notes
• Always adapt your travel 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, travel 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 traveling off-road (see the turtle indicator on the
instrument panel).
• 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 dump bucket
before leaving the dumper. Apply the parking brake only in an emergency when driving
the machine.
• Keep the base plate of the dump bucket in a clean condition so that the material is
easily dumped out of the dump bucket. Load only material that can be easily dumped
out.
• Never travel too close to the edges of unsecured pits, precipices, etc. The pressure of
the wheels on the ground may cause the edge to give way.
• Never dump material into trenches where people are working. If the operator cannot
see into the trench, he or she must be guided by someone who can see into the trench.
• Always make sure the brakes are in perfect condition.
Carrying passengers
• Apart from the operator, do not allow anyone to ride on the machine.
• Never lift, lower, or carry persons in the work equipment or attachments.
• Never install a man basket or a working platform to the machine.
Mechanical integrity
• Take the necessary precautions to make sure the machine is used only when in a safe
and reliable state.
• Operate the machine ONLY if all protective and safety-oriented devices (ROPS,
removable safety devices, soundproofing elements, mufflers, etc.) are in place and fully
functional.
• Check the machine at least once a day/per work shift for visible damage and defects.
Report any changes, including changes in the machine's working behavior, to your
supervisor immediately!
• If the machine is behaving unpredictably, stop the machine immediately, lock it and
report the malfunction to the competent authority/person. Safety-relevant damage or
malfunctions of the machine must be rectified immediately.
Driving on public roads
• When traveling on public roads, ways and places, observe all applicable traffic
regulations. If necessary, make sure beforehand that the machine is in compliance with
these regulations.
• When crossing underpasses, gates, bridges and tunnels, or when passing under
overhead lines, make sure the clearance height and width are sufficient.
