Warning!
Hazard of poisoning from exhaust gases.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases can
lead to death in a few minutes.
• Do not inhale exhaust gas.
• Do not operate machine in an enclosed/partially enclosed or poorly
ventilated or vented area.
• Particular caution is required when operating in ditches, because a
high concentration of carbon monoxide can form in ditches after a
short time.

• Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the working environ-
ment, e.g. load-bearing capacity of the floor or obstacles in the envi-
ronment.
• Always secure the machine against tipping, rolling, slipping and fall-
ing.
• Observe the changing ground conditions, especially on uneven and
soft ground or on slopes. Secure the machine against slipping!
• When working near pits, ditches or plateaus, exercise caution! The
load-bearing capacity capacity of the ground must safely carry the
weight of the machine and the operator.
