Operation

Danger
Danger of crushing. Make sure that no per-
sons are present near the arm hinges.
Danger of burns, crushing. Only use the
appliance if all casing parts have been at-
tached.
Caution

If the oil pressure warning lamp lights up dur-
ing operation, switch the engine off immedi-
ately and remediate the malfunction.
Risk of damage due to overheated engine
or overheated hydraulic oil. If the warning
