Remove and keep steps, platforms and shoes free from e.g. dirt, mud, ice and snow and
wear anti-slip shoes.
Do not use any methods and modes of operation that could affect the machine's safety.
Always observe the operating instructions for all of the work performed with and on the
machine.
The operating instructions, safety-related instructions and safety information must always
be kept complete and in a legible condition at the machines place of use.
Check the machine's proper operation and its condition before every use.
If the machine has any faults that impact on its safety, it must only be operated once
these faults have been fully removed.
Stop the machine immediately if it has any cracks, splits or if any of its components are
damaged.
Do not remove the machine's type plates.
Replace damaged or missing hazard symbols and information signs.
Check the load bearing capacity and gradient of the ground before starting any work and
always mark the minimum distance to which the machine can be moved near slopes or
edges and keep to this distance when operating the machine.
Never drive diagonally to a slope or in a waving pattern when on slopes. When working
on slopes, there is a risk that the machine may tip over.
Slopes with an incline of up to 12 % must only be descendent with an empty hopper and
pointing straight forwards, and ascended pointing backwards.
The machine is not suitable for ascending slopes with an incline of more than 25°.
Protect the machine from moving when parking it on slopes.
Observe the relevant environmental protection regulations.
Make sure that no environmentally hazardous substances such as grease, hydraulic fluids
and lubricating oils, fuels, coolants and solvent-containing detergents find their way into
the ground or the sewer system.
Environmentally hazardous substances must be stored, transported, collected and
disposed off in suitable containers.
If any of the above fluids find their way into the ground, they must be stopped from
doing so and the fluid absorbed using a suitable binding agent. If necessary, excavate the
affected soil.
