Safety instructions for certain operating phases2.3
If the wheel loader does not respond as expected to the
•
operator command or exhibits a malfunction, stop the
machine, contact the supervisor and restore the machine
to serviceable condition before resuming operation.
Start and operate the loader only from the operator’s
•
seat.
When switching on and off, observe the indicator dis-
•
plays in accordance with the Operator’s Manual.
Make sure no one is located in the operating area of the
•
loader before starting the engine.
After starting the engine and conrming that the indi-
•
cators are responding correctly, activate the steering,
brakes, lights, signals and loader/accessory functions
to conrm that these devices are responding correctly
to the control command.
To avoid damage to the wheel loader, position the loader
•
bucket or accessories before moving the machine. Re-
conrm that there are no people in the work or travel
area before moving the machine.
The safety instructions are directed at all persons involved
in work on or with the loader.
Safety instructions for normal operation2.3.1
Refrain from any measures that could put safety into
•
question.
Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the working
•
environment in which you will be using the loader. The
working environment includes, for example, obstacles in
the working and trafc area, the bearing capacity of the
ground and the necessary safeguarding of the location
to allow it to be used as a public trafc area.
Take precautions to ensure that the loader is operated •
only in a safe, serviceable state.
Only operate the loader if all the protection devices and
•
safety devices, e.g. detachable protection devices, sound
absorbers and exhaust equipment, are serviceable and
operational.
Check the loader at least once a day for visible de-
•
fects.
