Danger
Risk of injury!
Prior to each use, the safety check described in the Chapter "Startup" must be
conducted.
The travel speed must be adapted to the
existing conditions.
Danger of tipping if gradient is too high.
– The gradient in the direction of travel
should not exceed 25%.
Danger of tipping when driving round
bends at high speed.
– Drive slowly when cornering.
Danger of tipping on unstable ground.
– Only use the machine on sound surfac-
es.
Danger of tipping with excessive sideways tilt.
– The gradient perpendicular to the direc-
tion of travel should not exceed 10%.
– All operating levers and switches must
be in neutral prior to starting the motor.
The driver must be seated when the
motor is started. The drive pedal must
not be pressed during the starting process.
– You must use your seat belt when work-
ing with attachments, as their use may
cause a sudden standstill of the machine (such as a snow plough, front
loader, etc.)
– The appliance may only be started after

– During transports, the front attachment
frame can be lifted all the way up and
locked; for this, pull the lever all the way
up.
– Be especially careful when working on
slopes and ditches.
Appliances with combustion engine
The appliance should not be used in closed
rooms.
Danger
Risk of injury!
– Do not close the exhaust.
– Do not bend over the exhaust or touch
it (risk of burns).
– Do not touch the drive motor (risk of
burns).
– Exhaust gases are poisonous and haz-
ardous to health, do not inhale them.
– The engine requires approx. 3-4 sec-
onds to come to a standstill once it has
been switched off. During this time, stay
well clear of the working area.
Safety Devices
This machine is equipped with several
safety systems. The emergency brake,
driver's seat and hydraulic levers are
equipped with safety switches.
Main switch
The main switch interrupts the electrical
supply to the starter motor. This switch
should always be switched off when the
machine is shut off (side position).
Startup block
In order to start the motor:
– the main switch must be switched on
(top position).
– the emergency brake must be activat-
ed.
– the driver must be seated on the seat.
Seat contact switch
The motor shuts off:
– if you rise from the seat without activat-
ing the emergency brake.
– if you rise from the seat with the hydrau-
lics switched on.
