Injury hazard when attachments are picked up!

► Only use attachments that are in perfect condition.
► After hitching the attachment or before starting work, ensure that the

The bucket can cause serious injury if it falls.
► Do not align the connecting bores with your fingers. In order to avoid
possible injury, keep your fingers and hands away from the
connections as you align the connecting bores.
