Safety Information
• Never travel too close to the edges of pits, precipices, etc., since the pressure of the
wheels on the ground can cause the edge to give way. If edges are secured sufficiently
and a barrier prevents the ground from giving way, you may travel closer to edges of
pits, precipices, etc.
• Never tilt out material into trenches in which there are persons. If the operator cannot
see into the trench, he must be instructed by a person who can see into the trench.
• Always make sure the brakes are in a perfect condition.

if the following conditions are fulfilled:
• Obtain the approval of the competent national authority.
• Machine operation with a lowered rollbar is prohibited.

Trailer operation
In spite of being equipped with towing gear, the dumper is not a tractor and may not be
used as such in difficult terrain. If the dumper is used on construction sites for towing trail-
ers, weight down the skip with 25 % of the payload. However, the towed equipment includ-
ing the weight in the skip may not exceed the dumper's payload. Secure the towing pin of
the towing gear with a split pin!
