• Do not travel up to the edge of an unsecured pit – danger of cave-in.
• Do not perform machine travel and operation under projecting earth.
Stones or the projecting earth can fall onto the machine.
• Before working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and
the structure itself before starting work. The building can collapse,
causing serious injury and damage.

engine is not running. Release the pressure in the hydraulic system
before starting repair work.
• Before tilting out the skip next to an excavation, secure the machine
with suitable wheel chocks or other auxiliary means.

can cause a tipping hazard. Remove stuck or frozen material from the
skip with a suitable tool.
