General safety instructions
• Never drive up to the edge of a pit from the outside – risk of cave-in. • Never undermine the foundations of walls – risk of collapse. • When excavating, look out for high-voltage and underground cables, and gas and water pipes. • When using lifting gear such as pallet forks, comply with the load diagrams – see Load diagram on page 71. • The hydraulic system of the machine is still pressurized even when the engine is not running. Depressurize the sections of the system and hydraulic lines that you want to open before starting setup or repair work (e.g., fitting/removing an attachment with hydraulic functions) – see Depressurizing the quick couplers on the telescopic unit on page 78. • If your machine is equipped with a load stabilizer: IMPORTANT! Turn off the load stabilizer before working with the telescopic unit. If you leave the load stabilizer on, the lifting capacity of the telescopic unit is only about 60% of the rated force, and it is difficult to complete precise lifting movements.
