STARTING THE ENGINE
-When travelling with a load, always use the travel control lever to obtain fine travel control.
-See "Transporting the machine" when driving the machine onto a trailer. -See "Handling the machine" when it is necessary to lift the machine. -See "Towing the machine" when it is necessary to tow the machine. -Whenever load handling operations are to be carried out, it is imperative to adhere strictly to the instructions given in this manual and local legislation. See "Load handling". -In certain situations, the positioning of the attachment can cause interference between the attachment tool and the operator’s compartment. Always observe a minimum safety distance between the tool and the operator’s compartment (in case of swinging or accidental movements). -Never use the attachment for sweeping the ground to level out rubble or push objects (transversal stress on the attachment). -Avoid running the engine in a confined space. If there is no alternative, proper ventilation must be provided at all times. -Dust, smoke or mist can reduce visibility and cause an accident. Reduce speed or come to a complete halt until visibility has improved. -In the event of an operating problem or failure, move the machine to a safe place, immediately lower the attachment to the ground, with the dipper cylinder rod and the bucket cylinder rod completely retracted or completely extended, stop the engine and remove the starter switch key. Locate the problem, report it if necessary and take the necessary steps to warn others not to attempt to operate the machine.
-Do not stop the engine without taking prevailing weather conditions into consideration. See "Stopping the engine". -See "Parking the machine" when you have to park the machine.
