2. INFORMATION ABOUT DOCUMENTATION
These operating instructions describe all the measures necessary for the safe operation and proper maintenance of the
skid-steer loader in all its possible versions at the time of printing. Special versions according to customer requirements are
documented in a separate operating and maintenance manual. If in doubt, contact an authorized service center.
For all technical queries, provide with each the identification number (PIN) of the skid-steer loader. Each skid-steer loader

get lost, the operator must immediately obtain a replacement from the manufacturer. The operating instructions are on the
spare parts list and can be re-ordered as a spare part. The personnel responsible for operating and maintaining the device
must read and understand these operating instructions. The operator is obliged to ensure that all users have received, read
and understood these operating and maintenance instructions for the machine.
