General safety and accident
prevention regulations
Basic rule:
Please observe the relevant accident
prevention regulations as well as the
generally recognized rules pertaining to
safety, occupational health and traffic
laws.
The use of public transportation routes is
subject to the Road Traffic Act in its
latest version.
Please check the traffic and operating
safety of the machine before each com-
missioning!
The machine may only be used, ser-
viced and repaired by persons who are
familiar with it and have been instructed
in the hazards involved.
Persons under the age of 16 must not
operate the machine!
Only work with good visibility and in
good lighting conditions.
Operator clothing must fit tightly. Wear
sturdy footwear.
The affixed warning and information
signs provide important information for
safe operation; please observe them for
your own safety!
The engine must be switched off for
transport on motor vehicles or trailers
outside the working area.
Be careful with rotating tools - keep a
safe distance!
Be careful with coasting tools. Before
you start working on them, wait until they
have come to a complete stop!
There is a risk of crushing and shearing
on power-operated parts!
Riding on the implement during opera-
tion is not permitted.
Driving behaviour, steering – and possi-
bly – braking capability and tipping be-
haviour are influenced by attached or
suspended devices and loads. Therefore
ensure adequate steering and braking
capability.
Match the operating speed to the condi-
tions.
Do not adjust the setting of the engine
speed governor. A high speed increases
the risk of accidents.
Working area and danger zone
The working area is the entire area to be
worked on. The user is responsible for
third parties in the working area.
Staying in the danger zone of the ma-
chine is not permitted (see page 30).
Check the work area before starting and
moving. Pay special attention to children
and animals.
Foreign objects are to be removed from
the area to be worked on prior to starting
work. Look out for additional foreign
objects while working and remove these
promptly.
For operation in enclosed areas, ensure
that a safety distance is kept from edges
to prevent damage to tools.
