General safety instructions
• Never travel up to the edge of a pit from outside – danger of cave-in!
• Do not travel under projecting earth. Stones or the projecting earth can fall onto the machine.
• When working on roofs or similar structures, check the resistance and the structure itself
before starting work. The building can collapse, causing severe injury and damage.
• Do not place the machine directly underneath the workplace during demolition,
otherwise demolished parts can fall onto the machine or the building can collapse,
causing severe injury or damage.
• The hydraulic system of the machine is still pressurized even when the engine is not
running! Release the pressure in the sections of the system and hydraulic lines that are
to be opened before starting setup or repair work.
• Before tilting out the skip next to an excavation, secure the machine with suitable wheel
chocks or other auxiliary means.
• Always watch the material as you tilt out the skip: ensure that the material is dumped
out evenly and does not remain stuck in the skip, otherwise the machine could tip over.
• Do not dump the load when working on sloping ground.
• Always perform precise and smooth control movements, do not perform abrupt movements.
• Do get on or off the machine when it is moving.
• Avoid dangerous work conditions on the work site, do not work in severe weather and
ensure that no one is at risk.
• Machine operation is only allowed if the rollbar is raised and locked, and if the seat belt
is fastened.
• Use an external light source in case of poor illumination of the job site. If this is not
enough to illuminate the job site sufficiently, stop machine operation and start it again if
sufficient illumination can be ensured.
WARNUNG
WARNING
W
Accident hazard when traveling with a tilted-out skip!
Can cause severe injury or death.
☞
Machine travel with a tilted-out skip is prohibited.
☞
Material that sticks in the skip may be tilted out only to the front in the
straight position of the machine.
☞
Before tilting out the skip, keep a safe distance from buildings or the edges
of building pits, for example.
☞
Secure the edge of the pit with a wooden beam anchored in the ground.
NOTICE
Lowering the skip too rapidly and knocking it against the chassis can cause
damage.
