DANGER! To prevent hearing damage, the operator of the machine and bystanders who
are exposed to the machine noise for long periods must wear hearing protection.
The machine is steered with a hydraulically powered steering wheel. There is a steering wheel button
on the steering wheel, making it easier to operate the machine with one hand so that other functions
can be operated with the other hand. Keep two hands on the wheel as much as possible when the
other functions are not being operated. Keep the following points in mind when steering:
Do not steer the machine until the speed is moderate.
Make sure that no people, animals or objects are in the turning circle of the machine.
Take into account the position of the boom. A higher position reduces the stability of the
machine.
Make sure that the space around the pivot point of the steering is free.
Increase the steering angle evenly while driving.
Steer less sharply when driving over uneven or rough surfaces.
NOTE! Avoid steering when the machine is stationary. If you steer when the machine is
stationary, the tyres will wear out very quickly.
Boom operation
The boom can be operated with the joystick. A number of points require attention:
Take into account the dangers that various attachments and loads can cause.
Make sure that no persons, animals or objects are present under the boom when it is raised.
Keep the lifting height about 20 centimetres above the ground while driving.
Take account of headroom when driving underneath objects.
To raise the boom under high loads, the engine speed must be increased. To do this, switch
the direction of travel to neutral and switch off the drive.
If your machine has the third hydraulic function option, always switch it to the middle
position when it is not being used.
WARNING! Familiarise yourself with the attachments you are driving with. Read the
accompanying manuals carefully. Take into account protruding parts of the load and the
weight of the load while driving.
