Machine operation
• Start and operate the vehicle only with the seat belt fastened and only
from the place provided for this.
• Put the vehicle into operation only if visibility is sufficient (have another
person guide you if necessary).
• Operation on slopes:
- Travel/work only uphill or downhill.
- Avoid vehicle travel across a slope, observe the vehicle’s permissible
inclination (and of the trailer if necessary).
- Keep loads on the uphill side of the vehicle and as close as possible
to it.
- Keep attachments/work equipment close to the ground.
• Adapt the travel speed to the circumstances (for example the ground
conditions, weather conditions).
• There is increased danger during backward vehicle travel. Persons in
the blind spot of the vehicle cannot be seen by the operator.
- Ensure that nobody is in the danger zone when you change the
travel direction.
• Never get on a moving vehicle and never jump off the vehicle.
