Basic safety instructions

Organisational measures
The following safety instructions are directed at the operator / user of the loader. • •

Always keep the operating manual on hand at the place of operation of the machine, for example in the tray provided for it. As a supplement to the operating manual, universally valid legal and other binding regulations relating to road traffic, compulsory coverage, accident prevention and environmental protection must be observed, and users must be instructed to observe them. This applies in particular to the maximum speed, depending on the model and the permissible total weight of the loader. If required, instruct that personal protective equipment be worn. This applies particularly to the handling of harmful substances at the location of use. Supplement the operating manual with instructions, including supervisory and reporting requirements, taking into account differences between various companies, e.g. with regard to the organization of work, work processes or personnel used.

Personnel who have been assigned duties using the loader/users must have read the operating manual before starting work, especially the chapter Basic Safety Instructions. This applies particularly to personnel used only occasionally, for machine setup or servicing, for example. Observe all safety instructions and danger warnings on the loader and in the operating manual. Make sure that all safety instructions and danger warnings on the machine are legible. Should the loader change its operating behaviour in a way that affects safety, shut down the loader immediately and correct the malfunction or have it corrected. Do not make any changes, attachments or conversions to the loader that will adversely affect safety without the consent of Wacker Neuson. This also applies to the installation and adjustment of safety devices and valves as well as welding work on load-bearing parts.
