Checks before use
Check that the concrete mixer is intact and remove any material left in the mixing drum before starting
the mixer. Clean also the drive gear rim for smooth operation. Check that the drum can rotate freely,
and that there is no foreign material coiled around the drum or stuck on the gear rim.
Operate the equipment only on a level working site, which can carry the load of the equipment when
fully loaded. The operating area must be sufficiently flat and it should be cleared from any obstacles
that could cause a tripping hazard for the operators. Make sure the area is lit well enough.
Ensure that bystanders are at a safe distance when operating the equipment. Do not let anyone to
enter danger area of the boom or to stay directly in front of the loader. Also make sure that it is safe to
reverse with the loader. Never assume that bystanders will remain where you last saw them;
especially children are often attracted to the moving equipment.
Check the general condition of the attachment and the loader, and check for possible hydraulic oil
leaks. The attachment must not be used, if there is a fault in the hydraulic system of the loader or the
attachment. Refer to Chapter 7 for maintenance instructions.
Operate the attachment and the controls of the loader only when seated on the driver’s seat. Ensure
that the loader and the attachment are used in a safe manner and as intended. Do not allow children
to operate the equipment.
Never operate the loader or attachments while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, medication that
may impair judgement or cause drowsiness, or if not otherwise medically fit to operate the equipment.
Remember correct working methods and avoid leaving the driver’s seat unnecessarily.
