VIBRATION INFORMATION

Compact construction equipment is generally used in harsh environments. This type of usage can expose an operator to uncomfortable levels of vibration. It is useful to understand exposure to vibration levels when operating compact equipment and what can be done to reduce vibration exposure. As a result, equipment operation can be more efficient, productive and safe.

An operator's exposure to vibration occurs in two ways:

• Whole-Body Vibration (WBV)

• Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV)

WBV issues are primarily addressed in this manual, because evaluations have shown that operation of mobile compact construction equipment on work sites typically results in HAV levels less than the allowed exposure limit of 2.5 m/s2.

1.General information

Member States of the European Union must comply with the Physical Agents (vibration) Directive, 2002/44/EC.

Effective control of vibration exposure for an operator involves more than just vibration levels on the machine. The work site, how the machine is used, and proper training all play important roles in reducing vibration exposure.

Vibration exposure results from:

• Work site conditions.

• How the machine is operated.

• The machine characteristics.

Common causes of high WBV levels:

• Using a machine that is improper for the task.

• Work site with potholes, ruts and debris.

• Improper operating techniques, such as driving too fast.

• Incorrect adjustment of the seat and controls.

• Other physical activities while using the machine.

Vibration Measurement and Actions

The vibration directive places the responsibility for compliance on employers.

Actions that should be followed by employers include:

• Assess the levels of vibration exposure.

• Determine from this assessment if operators will be exposed to vibration levels

above the limits stated in the directive.

• Take appropriate actions to reduce operator's exposure to vibration.

• Provide operators with information and training to reduce their exposure to

vibration.

• Keep good records and update operations and training on a regular basis.

If the assessment concludes that vibration level exposure is too high, one or more of the following actions may be necessary:

1. Train operators

• Perform operations (accelerating, steering, braking, etc.) in a smooth manner.

• Adjust the controls, mirrors and seat suspension for comfortable operation.

• Travel across the smoothest parts of the work site and avoid ruts and potholes.

2. Choose proper equipment for the job

• Use machines with the proper power and capacity.

• Select machines with good suspension seats.

• Look for controls that are easy to use.

• Ensure good visibility from the operator's position.

1.General information

3. Maintain the work site

• Smooth ruts and fill potholes in traffic areas whenever possible.

• Clean up debris frequently.

• Vary traffic patterns to avoid exposure to rough terrain.

4. Maintain the equipment

• Ensure correct tire pressures.

• Check that seat suspension and all controls work smoothly and properly.

Vibration Level

The typical whole-body vibration level for the machine is listed in the declaration of conformity, see chapter “EC Declaration of conformity”.

2.Applications

OPERATING THE MACHINE

CAUTION:

Driving on slopes should be avoided. The risk of tipping over increases extremely when driving on slopes.

CAUTION:

Only drive on slopes when the loader attachment is empty. In the event that the wheel loader should drive on a slope, the maximum slope angle is 11.3º (20%).

1. Get on and off safely when entering or leaving the operator’s cab. Face the

machine. Always maintain a three point contact with the steps and handrails. Do not use control levers as handles. Do not jump on or off the machine. Never try to get on or off a moving machine.

2. Do not start engine or operate levers from anywhere other than the seat.

3. Before starting the engine, fasten the seat belt, make sure that the direction

lever is set in the neutral position, the parking brake switch is actuated and the bucket is lowered to the ground.

4. Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals.

5. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and avoid obstacles.

6. Never permit passengers on the machine. Keep bystanders away from the

machine during operation.

7. When working around other machines, let the other operators know what you

are doing at all times.

8. Never allow anyone to get under or near the bucket or attachment when it is

raised.

9. When raising the bucket or attachment, take extra caution to prevent it from

touching overhead wires or other obstacles. Contact with wires may cause fatal injuries.

10. Keep away from the muffler while the engine is running and immediately after

it has stopped.

11. Hazardous operation such as on dangerous terrain, beyond the load capacity

or contrary to the intended use of the machine must be avoided as it may cause the machine to tip over.

12. Do not drive the machine close to edges of ditches or banks which may

collapse under the weight of the machine, especially when the ground is loose or wet.

13. Slow down for turns, uneven terrain and slopes to avoid tipping over.

14. When transporting a load, keep the loader bucket as low as possible to avoid

tipping over. Be extremely careful when working on inclines.

15. Operation on slopes can be dangerous. Rain, snow, gravel soft ground, etc.

will change the surface conditions. Do not operate the machine in questiona-

2.Applications

ble surface conditions. If operating on a slope or ramp, always slow down, travel straight up and down the incline and not across. Keep the bucket as low as possible. If you do not follow these instructions, the machine can go out of control and tip over.

16. Avoid turning on a slope.

17. Never perform digging or shoveling with the machine in the articulated condi-

tion, or the machine may tip over.

18. Never dig or shovel at high speed. Such operation can cause the machine to

lose stability and its rear wheels to lift off the ground, which may lead to serious personal injury or fatal accidents.

19. Do not go up or down a 20° or steeper hill. Otherwise, the machine may skid

sideways or turn on its side. If the ground is not level or is soft, limit the slope below 11.3º (20%).

20. To avoid tipping over, do not operate the machine on any site where the terrain

cannot be ascertained, such as ground covered with seeds or snow and check for hidden projections, dips, road shoulders, etc. beforehand, and take care not to approach them during work.

21. Be sure to ease off the accelerator pedal at the end of filling in trenches or

areas at the edge of a steep slope or pond bank or at the brow of a hill. When the external load is reduced, the machine speed will automatically increase, therefore reduce speed to avoid entering ditches or tipping over.

22. To avoid the machine slipping or tipping over, do not operate the machine on

ungraded or soft terrain, such as land fills. Grade and compact the site beforehand at all times.

23. Do not run the engine indoors. Carbon monoxide gas from exhaust is

colorless, odorless and deadly.

24. Check that no one is near the machine before starting the engine to avoid dan-

ger from the machine. Check that there are no flammable objects, such as dead leaves, sheets of paper, or pieces of cloth near to the engine before starting the engine.

25. Be especially careful when reversing and watch the area behind the loader

exactly before starting to drive.

Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure

BEFORE cleaning, adjusting, lubricating, fueling, or servicing the machine, or leaving it unattended:

1. Bring the machine to a complete stop on a level surface. Avoid parking on an

incline or hillside, but if this is not possible, park along the slope, not across. Prevent the machine from moving, block the tires with wedges for example.

2. Be sure all working equipment and/or attachments are stopped and the

auxiliary valve is in neutral.

3. Lower the lift arm and attachment completely.

4. Place forward/reverse drive switch (on top of the joystick) into the neutral

position.

5. Apply the parking brake.

6. Move the throttle to low idle position and shut off the engine.

7. Wait for all movement to stop. Turn the ignition key to the "I" or RUN position

and move the multi-purpose joystick in all directions to verify that the hydraulic system is de-pressurized.

8. If so equipped, press the auxiliary hydraulics pressure relief control. After

pressing, make sure this control returns to the neutral position.

9. Turn off the ignition.

10. Unfasten the seat belt and remove the ignition key and take it with you. Exit

the machine using the hand holds.

ONLY when these precautions have been taken can you be sure it is safe to proceed. Failure to follow this procedure could result in death or serious injury.

Before Starting

• Do not remove or modify the Roll-Over Protective Structure ("ROPS"). Modifi-

cations, such as welding, drilling or cutting, can weaken the structure and reduce the protection it provides. A damaged ROPS cannot be repaired - it must be replaced.

• Never operate the machine without a ROPS or FOPS installed.

• To ensure safe operation, replace damaged or worn-out parts with genuine

service parts.

• The machine is designed and intended to be used only with approved attach-

ments. To avoid possible personal injury, equipment damage and performance problems, use only attachments that are approved for use on and within the operating capacity of the machine, see chapter “Technical data”.

Tobroco Machinery LLC cannot be responsible if the machine is used with a non-approved attachment.

4.Safety

• Remove all trash and debris from the machine every day, especially in the

engine compartment, to minimize the risk of fire.

• Always face the machine and use the hand holds and steps when entering and

exiting the machine. Do not jump off the machine. See chapter “Operation”.

• Do not use other starting aids than the engine pre-heating. Engine pre-heating

can cause ether or other starting fluid to detonate, causing injury or damage.

• Walk around the machine and inspect it before using it. Look for damage,

loose or missing parts, leaks, etc.

• Warn all nearby personnel before starting the machine.

• Check for proper tire pressure in all four tires before operating the machine

and add air if necessary. Improperly pressurized tires adversely affect machine stability. Regularly check wheel fasteners for tightness. See chapter “Maintenance”.

• Contact the proper local authorities for utility line locations BEFORE starting to

dig. In North America, contact the North American One-Call Referral System at 8-1-1 in the U.S., or 1-888-258-0808 in the U.S. and Canada.

• Below-ground hazards also include water mains, tunnels and buried founda-

tions. Know what is underneath the work site before starting to dig.

• Before working near power lines (either above-ground or buried cable type),

always contact the power utility and establish a safety plan with them.

• If temperatures are changing, be cautious of dark and wet patches when work-

ing or traveling over frozen ground. Stay away from ditches, overhangs and other weak support surfaces.

• The operator's area, steps and hand holds must be free of oil, dirt, ice and

unsecured objects.

• If a lighting system is installed, check its operation before working in darkness.

• Always keep lights, mirrors and windows clean. Poor visibility can cause acci-

dents.

• NEVER start the engine if there is any indication that maintenance or service

work is in progress, or if a warning tag is attached to the controls.

• Replace damaged safety decals and a lost or damaged operator manual.

• Terrain and soil conditions at the work site, approaching traffic, weather-

related hazards and any above-or below-ground obstacles and hazards should be observed and monitored by all work crew members.

• Adjust the seat to allow full actuation of all controls. Never adjust the seat

during machine operation.

• Read the operator manual provided with each attachment used with the

machine before starting the engine.

• Before working on or with the machine, remove jewelry, tie back long hair, and

do not wear loose-fitting garments, such as, scarves, ties, unzipped jackets, etc., which could become caught in the moving parts of the machine and cause injury.

• ALWAYS fasten the seat belt securely and properly. Never operate the

machine without the seat belt fastened around the operator.

• Check indicators and displays for normal conditions after starting the engine.

Listen for unusual sounds and remain alert for other potentially hazardous conditions.

• Control the machine cautiously and gradually until fully familiar with all the

controls and handling.

• Do not overload the machine. See chapter “Technical data”.

• Do not raise or drop a loaded bucket or attachment suddenly. Abrupt move-

ments under load can cause serious instability.

• Check that attachments are securely fastened to the attachment hitch before

working.

• Never activate the float function with the bucket or attachment loaded or

raised, because this will cause the lift arm to lower or bucket to dump rapidly.

• Never operate the machine without a ROPS or FOPS installed.Machine stabil-

ity is affected by: the weight of the load being carried, height of the load, machine speed, turn angle, width of the machine across the tires, abrupt control movements and driving over uneven terrain.

DISREGARDING ANY OF THESE FACTORS CAN CAUSE THE MACHINE TO TIP, THROWING THE OPERATOR OUT OF THE SEAT OR

MACHINE, RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Therefore: ALWAYS operate with the seat belt fastened around the operator.

• Do not exceed the machine's rated operating capacity; see chapter “Technical

data”. Be aware that effective operating capacity is reduced when the machine is turned.

• Machine stability is reduced when the machine is turned.

• Be aware that attachments effect the handling and balance of the machine.

Adjust the operation of the machine as necessary when using attachments.

• Carry the load low. Move the controls smoothly and gradually, and operate at

speeds appropriate for the conditions.

• Do not use the machine to lift or transport people. Do not allow others to ride

on the machine or attachments, because they could fall or cause an accident.

• Always look to the rear, over both shoulders, before backing up.

• Only start the engine while seated in the operator's seat with the seat belt fas-

tened around the operator.

• Only operate the controls while seated in the operator's seat with the seat belt

properly fastened.

• Always keep hands and feet inside the operator's compartment while operat-

ing the machine.

WARNING

4.Safety

• New operators must first operate the machine in an open area away from

bystanders. Practice with the controls until the machine can be operated safely and efficiently.

• Wear safety goggles, ear and head protection as needed while operating the

machine. Operator must wear protective clothing when appropriate.

• Exhaust fumes can kill. Do not operate the machine in an enclosed area with-

out adequate ventilation. Internal combustion engines deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen is replaced.

• Do not drive too close to an excavation or ditch. Be sure that the surrounding

ground has adequate strength to support the weight of the machine and the load.

• Never allow anyone under a raised lift arm. Lowering the lift arm or a falling

load can result in death or serious personal injury.

• Avoid slowing suddenly while carrying a load. Sudden slowing can cause the

load to drop off the attachment, or cause the machine to tip over.

• Be aware of overhead obstacles. Any object near the lift arm could represent a

potential hazard, or cause the operator to react suddenly and cause an accident. Use a spotter or signal person when working near bridges, phone lines, work site scaffolds, or other obstructions.

• Slow down the work cycle and use slower travel speeds in congested or popu-

lated areas. Use commonly understood signals so that other members of the work crew can warn the operator to slow or halt work in a potentially hazardous situation.

• Use a signal person if you cannot see the entire work area clearly, in high traf-

fic areas and whenever the operator's view is not clear.

• Do not place limbs near moving parts. Severing of body parts can result.

• Do not use the loader to lift or transport people.

• Stay alert for people moving through the work area. When loading a truck, the

operator should always know where the driver is.

• Do not drive into materials at high speeds to avoid being thrown forward and

injured.

• Do not turn off the ignition switch while driving. Turning off the ignition will

cause sudden hydrostatic braking, which may cause possible loss of control, injury and/or tipping of the machine.

• The engine hood must never be opened while the engine is running.

• In cold weather, avoid sudden drive movements and stay away from even

slight slopes. The machine can slide sideways on icy slopes.

• Snow accumulation can hide potential hazards. Use care while operating and

while using the machine to clear snow.

• If the machine becomes damaged or malfunctions, stop the machine immedi-

ately and lock and tag it. Repair the damage or malfunction before using the machine again.

4.Safety

• Never jump off the machine. Never get on or off a moving machine. Always

leave the machine while facing the machine using the steps and hand-holds. See chapter “Operation”.

Provision for Stability / Avoiding Rollover Accidents

• Machine stability is affected by: the weight and center of gravity of the load

being carried, height of the load, machine speed, turn angle, width of the machine across the tires, abrupt control movements and driving over uneven and/or soft terrain. DISREGARDING ANY OF THESE FACTORS CAN CAUSE THE MACHINE TO TIP, THROWING THE OPERATOR OUT OF THE SEAT OR MACHINE, RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. Do not exceed the machine's rated operating capacity, especially when turning, because this reduces the load that will cause the machine to tip over. Carry the load low, and operate at speeds appropriate for the conditions.

• Operate the controls smoothly to prevent jerking or bouncing. Operate on

level, stable surfaces. Load, unload and turn on solid, level ground.

• Drive up and down inclines, not across them. Drive slowly on inclines. Keep

the heavy end of the machine pointed uphill.

• Evenly distribute the load on the attachment. Secure unstable loads so they do

not shift or fall.

• Do not make sharp turns on inclines. Avoid steep inclines.

• Use care on loose ground. Loose, soft ground or uneven, broken terrain can

cause dangerous side-load conditions and possible tip over and injury.

• If you must drive across railroad tracks, ditches, curbs or similar surfaces,

cross straight up and down the slopes and drive slowly.

• Stay away from steep edges on loading docks, ramps, ditches, retaining walls

and trenches.

• Avoid sharp turns and high speeds while carrying loads. The stability of the

machine is greatly reduced during sharp turns. Additionally, the load may shift to the side during turns, greatly increasing the possibility of a rollover.

• When unloading trucks or lifting loads off elevated surfaces, approach the load

straight ahead and back straight away with the load. Slowly lower the load to the lowest possible transport position before turning.

• To avoid tipping, keep loads as low as possible during transport and while turn-

ing. Keep the bottom of the bucket or load no higher than wheel axle height during transport and turning.

• Do not turn the machine when lifting loads. As loads are lifted, a drastic shift in

stability can occur, which can greatly increase the possibility of a tip-over or rollover.

• Keep tires inflated to recommended pressure.

• If the machine becomes unstable and starts to tip, keep the seat belt fastened,

hold on firmly and brace yourself. Lean away from the point of impact and stay with the machine. If tipping occurs, DO NOT jump from the machine. The

4.Safety

machine is equipped with rollover protection, which can only protect the operator while in the operator's seat. Trying to escape from a tipping machine can result in death or serious personal injury.

• The ROPS must be replaced if a overturn incident occurs. The protection

offered by the ROPS will be impaired if it has been damaged in an overturn incident.

• Never operate the machine without a ROPS or FOPS installed.

Electrical Energy

• Stay away from high-voltage lines. Serious injury or death can result from con-

tact or proximity to high-voltage electric lines. The machine does not have to make physical contact with power lines for current to be transmitted. Use a spotter and hand signals to keep away from power lines not clearly visible to the operator.

• Depending upon the voltage in the power line and atmospheric conditions,

strong current shocks can occur if the bucket is closer than 3 m (10 ft.) to the power line. Very high voltage and rainy weather can further increase the safe operating distance.

• If the machine comes into contact with a live wire:

- Do not leave the machine.

- If possible, drive the machine out of the danger area.

- Warn others not to approach or touch the machine.

- Have the live wire de-energized.

- Do not leave the machine until the wire has been safely de-energized.

• Work on the machine's electrical system must be performed only by licensed

technicians.

• Inspect and check the machine's electrical equipment at regular intervals.

- Problems found, such as loose connections or scorched cables, much be repaired before using the machine.

• Only use proper, original equipment fuses/circuit breakers with the specified

current rating. Turn off the machine immediately if there is any indication of a problem with the electrical system.

Service Safety Practices

• Only trained and authorized personnel, with a full awareness of safe proce-

dures, should be allowed to operate or perform maintenance or service on the machine.

• Use warning tag/control lockout procedures during service. Alert others that

service or maintenance is being performed by tagging operator's controls - and other machine areas if required - with a warning notice.

• Never attempt to bypass the key switch to start the engine.

• Always wear safety glasses with side shields when striking metal against

metal. In addition, it is recommended that a softer (chip-resistant) material be

4.Safety

used to cushion the blow, otherwise, serious injury to the eyes or other parts of the body could result.

• Stay clear from underneath the operator's platform as it is tilted.

• Always secure the operator's platform in the tilted position with the tilt support.

Never allow anyone under the operator platform if the tilt support is not in place.

• Always secure the operator's platform to the chassis with anchor bolts, nuts

and washers before driving and using the machine.

• Check operator's platform tilt components and tilt support components at regu-

lar intervals. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately.

• Do not smoke or have any spark- or flame-producing equipment or materials in

the area while filling the fuel tank or working on the fuel or hydraulic systems.

• Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight. Do not start the engine until caps

have been secured.

• Always lower lift arm or elevated items, or securely support/secure them,

before performing any maintenance or service on the machine.

• Do not attempt to remove the radiator cap after the engine has reached oper-

ating temperature or if it is overheated. At operating temperatures, engine coolant is extremely hot and under pressure. Always wait for the engine to cool before attempting to relieve pressure and remove the radiator cap. Failure to heed this warning could result in severe burns.

• Use solid support blocking. Never rely on jacks or other inadequate supports

when maintenance work is being done. Never work under any equipment supported only by jacks.

• Refer to the parts manual for information about assembly of components.

Always use the correct parts and the proper torques - incorrect fastener connections can dangerously weaken assemblies.

• Exhaust fumes can kill. Do not operate the machine in an enclosed area

unless there is adequate ventilation.

• Operators should also be aware of any open windows, doors or ductwork into

which exhaust gases may be carried, exposing others to danger.

• Do not run the engine if repairs are being performed alone. There should

always be at least two people working together if the engine must be run during service.

• Always use adequate tools while working on the machine. Inappropriate tools

could break or slip, causing injury, or they may not adequately perform intended functions.

• Unless necessary for servicing the engine, do not open the engine cover while

the engine is running.

• Do not use the machine when maintenance is scheduled to be performed.

Postponing maintenance can result in a serious reduction of the service life of the machine, more serious and costly equipment failures, and contribute to unsafe operating conditions.

4.Safety

• Only tow the machine as described in this manual (see chapter “Commission-

ing”).

• Do not work on hot engines, cooling systems or hydraulic systems. Wait for

the engine to cool. When engine lubrication oil, gearbox lubricant or other fluids require changing, wait for fluid temperatures to decrease to a moderate level before removing drain plugs.

• All safety equipment must be maintained so it is always in good condition.

• Safety-critical parts must be periodically replaced. Replace the following

potentially fire-related components as soon as they begin to show signs of deterioration:

- Fuel system flexible hoses, fuel tank overflow drain hose and the fuel filler cap.

- Hydraulic system hoses, especially the pump outlet lines. Replace hydraulic hoses every 6 years from the date of manufacture (month or quarter, and year) is indicated on the hydraulic hoses.

• Keep mounting brackets and hose and cable routing straps tight. Hose routing

should have gradual bends.

• After cleaning the machine, examine all fuel, lubricant and hydraulic oil lines

for leaks, chafe marks and damage. Tighten any loose connections and repair or replace parts as necessary.

• When handling oil, grease and other chemical substances, follow the product-

related safety requirements Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) carefully to prevent burning or scalding.

• Do not use the machine in an environment where the hot muffler could present

a fire hazard, such as hay or straw storage facilities.

Battery Hazards

• Use the battery disconnect switch, or disconnect the negative battery cable

from the negative battery terminal, before performing electrical service or electrical welding on the machine (see chapter “Commissioning’).

• When disconnecting at the battery terminals, remove the cable connected to

the negative terminal first. When installing a battery, connect the positive terminal cable first.

• Sparks and open flames can set off explosive battery gas from incidental con-

tact or static discharge. Turn off all switches and the engine when working on batteries. Keep battery terminals tight. Contact between a loose terminal and post can create an explosive spark.

• When jump-starting from another machine, do not allow the machines to

touch. Wear safety glasses or goggles while battery connections are made.

• Never jump-start the machine if it has a frozen battery. The battery could

explode. Thaw a frozen battery before charging it or attaching jumper cables.

• Flush eyes with water for 10-15 minutes if battery acid is splashed in the face

and consult a medical doctor immediately. Anyone swallowing battery acid

4.Safety

must have immediate medical aid. Call the Poison Control Center at 1-800222-1222 in the United States.

Fire Hazards

• The machine must be cleaned on a regular basis to avoid the buildup of flam-

mable debris, such as leaves, straw, etc. Accumulated debris, particularly in the engine compartment, creates a fire hazard.

• The machine has several components that operate at high temperatures

under normal operating conditions, primarily the engine and exhaust systems. Also, the electrical system, if not properly maintained or if damaged, can arc or produce sparks. These conditions make it extremely important to avoid circumstances where explosive dust or gases can be ignited by arcs, sparks or heat.

• Add fuel, oil, antifreeze and hydraulic fluid to the machine only in well-venti-

lated areas. The machine must be parked with controls, lights and switches turned off. The engine must be turned off before fueling.

• Do not smoke while filling the fuel tank, while working on the fuel or hydraulic

systems, or while working around the battery.

• Take care to avoid spilling combustible fluids, such as oil or fuel, on a hot

engine.

• Static electricity can produce dangerous sparks at the fuel-filling nozzle. In

very cold, dry weather or other conditions that could produce static discharge, keep the tip of the fuel nozzle in constant contact with the fuel filler neck, to provide a ground. Be sure that a ground wire is connected from the machine to the service truck before fueling begins.

• Keep fuel and other fluid reservoir caps tight and do not start the engine until

caps have been secured.

• It is recommended that a 2.27 kg (5 lbs.) or larger, multi-purpose "A/B/C" fire

extinguisher be mounted within reach of the operator. Check the fire extinguisher periodically and be sure that work site crew members are trained in its use.

• Oil leaks can ignite on hot components. Repair any damaged or leaking com-

ponents before using machine.

Transporting the Machine

Obey federal, state and local over-the-road regulations. Check restrictions regarding weight, height, width and length of a load. The hauling vehicle, trailer and load must all be in compliance with applicable regulations (see chapter “Commissioning”).

4.Safety

Lifting the Machine with a Crane

Only lift the machine according to the following guidelines:

• The crane and rigging equipment must have sufficient capacity. See chapter

"Technical Data”.

• Secure the machine against unintentional movement. Use taglines as needed.

• Do not lift the machine with persons on or in the machine.

• Any person guiding the crane operator must be within sight or sound of the

crane operator.

• Lift the machine only with the standard bucket installed, with the bucket empty

and in the transport position.

• Persons must stay clear of, and not under, the machine when it is lifted.

• Fasten the rigging equipment so the machine is horizontal when it is lifted.

• Do not lift the machine by the cab. Attach the rigging equipment only at the lift

SLOPES

CAUTION:

If possible, do not drive on slopes. Do not drive across slopes.

When you drive on slopes, there is a risk of injury due to these causes:

• The machine can tip over.

• There is less traction and braking force of the wheels which can cause unexpected movement of the machine.

Only drive on slopes in these conditions:

• The attachment is empty.

• The lift arm is in the lowest position.

• The maximum angle of the slope is not more than 11.3° (20%).

• You drive straight up and down the slope.

• The machine is unarticulated.

• You drive up and down the slope with the heaviest end uphill.

When you operate the machine, including loads, the maximum slope at maximum load at the lowest speed is limited to 3° (5.3%). Steeper slopes are possible with smaller loads, at your discretion and responsibility. The maximum angle of the slope depends on these factors:

• The loading, weight, position and balance of the load.

• Your driving style and speed.

• Circumstances and the capacity of the surface, such as loose sand, and humidity of the surface.

Stay at the ‘high’ side during transport on a slope.

When you load or unload the machine from a trailer, obey the instructions in the chapter ‘Commissioning’.

SAFETY - HYDRAULIC PARTS

• Exposed hydraulic hoses could react with explosive force if struck by a falling or overhead items. NEVER allow hoses to be hit, bent or interfered with. Replace any hoses that are damaged.

• Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as possible from a suspected leak.

• Do not smoke or have any spark- or flame-producing equipment or materials in the area while working on the hydraulic systems.

4.Safety

• Do not attempt to loosen or disconnect any hydraulic lines, hoses, fittings, covers or caps without first relieving hydraulic circuit pressure. Relieve hydraulic pressure by performing the Mandatory Safety Shutdown Procedure of the machine, and then slowly loosening the hydraulic reservoir filler cap. Be careful not to touch any hydraulic components that have been in recent operation, because they can be hot and cause burns.

• Do not work on hot hydraulic systems. Wait for the systems to cool. When fluids require changing, wait for fluid temperatures to decrease to a moderate level before removing drain plugs.

• Prior servicing, the system has to be depressurized completely!

• Safety-critical parts must be periodically replaced. Replace hydraulic system hoses as soon as they begin to show signs of deterioration, especially the pump outlet lines. Replace hydraulic hoses every 6 years from the date of manufacture (month or quarter, and year) is indicated on the hydraulic hoses.

• After cleaning the attachment, check all hydraulic oil lines for leaks, chafe marks and damage. Tighten any loose connections and repair or replace parts as necessary.

• Add hydraulic fluid to the attachment only in well-ventilated areas.

• Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury. If any fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at once. Injected fluid must be surgically removed by a doctor or gangrene may result. If your doctor is not familiar with this type of injury, ask him or her to research it immediately to determine proper treatment.

4.Safety

• Wear safety glasses, protective clothing and use a piece of cardboard or wood when searching for hydraulic leaks. DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS! SEE ILLUSTRATION.

PRO-INCHING

CAUTION:

Do not use Pro-Inching on public roads! The machine can react differently than usual.

Pro-Inching is a combination of a hand throttle and hand inching and is extremely suitable for the use of hydraulically powered implements like sweepers and mowers. Never use the ProInching function on public roads.

How does it work?

The hand throttle lever is used to increase the engine speed. The machine doesn’t move at this moment. The accelerator pedal automatically changes into a driving pedal and allows you to comfortably control the vehicle speed. The remaining power is used for powering the attachment.
