Injury hazard to persons in the danger zone!
Persons in the danger zone are possibly not seen and can be injured
during backward machine travel.
► Adjust the existing visual aids (for example the rearview mirrors)
correctly.
► Interrupt work immediately if persons enter the danger zone.
► Pay attention to the movements and changing positions of attachments
and persons.
Accident hazard due to restricted field of vision on the job site!
Accidents resulting in serious injury or death can be caused by a restricted
field of vision.
► Interrupt work immediately if persons enter the danger zone.
► Take appropriate measures if necessary (for example use a camera,
mirrors, guide).
► Additional equipment or attachments must not be installed if they
impair visibility.
Accident hazard due to incorrect adjustment of visual aids!
Incorrectly adjusted visual aids can cause serious injury or death.
► Adjust the visual aids before putting the machine into operation.
► Immediately replace damaged or broken visual aids.
► Convex mirrors enlarge, reduce or distort the field of view. Bear this in
mind when adjusting and using such mirrors.
Before using the machine, before starting work or when changing users,
ensure that all visual aids (for example the mirrors) work correctly, that
they are clean and adjusted in accordance with the instructions in this
Operator’s Manual. The operator must observe the local regulations.
• Use safety-oriented ladders and work platforms for adjustment work on
the machine.
• Never use machine parts or attachments/superstructures as a climbing
aid.
