BASIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WL50
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 trav-
•
eling 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.
