When driving on public roads, lanes and squares, ob-
serve the valid road trafc regulations and put the loader
into a condition permissible for the road beforehand.
•
As a matter of principle, turn on the lights when traveling
on public roads to increase awareness for road trafc..
•
When driving through underpasses, gates, bridges, tun-
nels, overhead lines, etc., always make sure that you
have enough clearance above and on both sides and a
sufcient safety margin.
•
Always keep sufcient distance away from excavations,
embankments and the edges of piled up material.
•
Refrain from any method of operation that could ad-
versely affect the loader‘s stability. This also includes
the duty to pass on information regarding the approved
carrying capacity (=payload) for the relevant loader at-
tachments. (carrying capacity / approved payload are
specied in the Operator’s Manual)
• Do not drive transversely on slopes; always keep work
equipment and load near the ground, especially when
driving down slopes.
•
When driving down a slope, always adjust your driv-
ing speed to take account of the respective conditions.
Always reduce your speed before reaching a downhill
slope, and not after you have reached it.
•
The load must be located on the uphill side during driv-
ing on downhill or uphill slopes.
• As a matter of principle, always secure the loader from
accidentally rolling away and against unauthorized use.
Turn off the engine, put on the parking brake, lower the
work equipment, remove the starting key and, if neces-
sary, employ a wheel chock.
