Information before putting the machine into operation
Before putting the machine into operation, perform a visual check to
ensure that:
- there are no leaks,
- no parts are damaged or loose,
- there are neither persons nor objects,
- or other sources of hazard around the machine.
Before putting the machine into operation, the operator must familiarize
himself with the position of the controls and instruments.
The machine may only be operated from the seat and with the seat belt
fastened.
Before the operator puts the machine into operation for the first time, we
recommend first trying out the machine on open ground without any
obstacles.
When using the machine, check the surroundings constantly in order to
identify potential hazards in time.
Before using the machine, before starting machine operation or when
changing operators, ensure that all visual aids (mirrors, for example) work
correctly, that they are clean and adjusted in accordance with the
instructions in this Operator’s Manual. The operator must observe the
local regulations.
Perform a functional check of the control lever base.
