Target-group definition
This Operator’s Manual is intended both for professional personnel on
construction sites accustomed to handling construction machin es, and
also for private persons, for example, renting and operati ng a construction
machine.
The Operator’s Manual has been written in a way that allows machine
operation by trained private persons without any special knowledge. As
far as possible, no technical terms specific to construction machines are
used.
This Operator’s Manual must be fully read and understood both by private
persons and the professional personnel on construction sites.
A dealer or person renting the machine must instruct the operator and
have this confirmed in writing.
Operator qualification and requirements for safe operation
Among other things, safe machine operation depends on the following
points:
•Machine model and equ ipment.
•Machine maintenance.
•Work and travel speed.
•Nature of ground and work environment.
The most important points are the operator’s qualification and power of
judgement. A well-trained operator following the Operator’s Manual and
maintenance plan ensures a long service life and durability of the
machine.
Specific training enables the operator to acquire, among other things, the
following skills:
•Correct assessment of work situations.
•Feeling for the machine.
•Recognition of possible risk situations.
•Safe working by making the correct decisions for man, machine and
the environment.
The operator is at risk if the machine is not operated correctly.
Follow the operating procedures and instructions described for the
machine.
Access to the machine or machine operation is prohibite d for childr en and
persons under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medicine.

4 Putting into operation
WARNING
Starting the engine at low ambient temperatures
Start the engine as described in chapter Starting the engine.
Warm-up phase at low ambient temperatures
•Let the engine run below 1800 rpm until the coolant reaches its
operating temperature.
•Avoid fast movements of the operating hydraulics.
•Check for unusual noise, exhaust color, leaks, malfunctions or
damage.
In case of malfunctions, damage or leaks:
Secure the machine, park it and find out the cause for the damage and
have it repaired.
Notices on the warm-up phase
•After reaching the operating temperature, the engine can be operated
under full load.
•The engine reaches its operating temperature more quickly at low
engine speed and under load. This is more efficient than operation at
low engine speed without any load.
•Avoid excess idling. This causes carbon deposits or an increased soot
load of the particulate matter catalyst, for example.
Crushing hazard during operation with cold hydraulic oil!
Cold hydraulic oil can cause uncontrolled machine movements. This can
cause serious injury or death.
► The hydraulic oil is still cold even if the engine has reached its
operating temperature.
► If possible, run the machine warm on wide and open terrain.
► Op er at e th e con tr ol lev er esp ecially ca refully if the hydraulic oil is cold.

Low-load operation
Stopping the engine
Possible damage to the engine due to low-load operation.
► Run the engine at idling speed or at high engine speed at over 20 %
engine load.
Possible consequences of low-load operation are:
•Increased engine oil consumption
•Engine contamination due to engine oil in exhaust system
•Blue smoke in exhaust gas
•Shorter particulate matter catalyst regeneration cycles (only in case of
Tier IV)
•Reduced engine-oil replacement intervals
Possible damage to the engine when it is stopped after runn ing under high
load.
► Letting the engine run at idling speed before stopping it avoids engine
damage and increases the engine’s service life.
1. Let the engine run at idling speed for five minutes without any load.
2. Turn the starting key to “0” and remove it.
After stopping the engine, wait two minutes before disconnecting the
battery or actuating the battery master switch to avoid damage to the
