1.5.2.22 Make sure that fuel, accessory material and
interchanged parts are safely disposed of with no danger
to the environment.
1.5.2.23 The machine should be checked by a specialist
before commissioning. In addition, it should be checked
after essential modifications before it returns to service.
1.5.2.24 The machine must be checked by a specialist
once a year. Furthermore, a specialist must check the

1.6 Instructions regarding special
categories of danger
1.6.1 Electrical energy
1.6.1.1 Only use original fuses (mandatory current).
Immediately switch off machine in case of breakdown of
electrical supply.
1.6.1.2 When working near overhead lines and overhead
wires, a safety clearance must be kept between the
machine and its working equipment in order to prevent
sparking over. The safety clearance depends on the nominal
voltage of the overhead/wire line. This also applies to the
distance between the lines and to the attachments and
slung loads.
The following safety clearance must be observed, to meet
the above mentioned requirement:
Nominal voltage Safety clearance
(kilovolt) (meter)
up to 1 kV 1,0 m
above 1 kV up to 110 kV 3,0 m
above 110 kV up to 220 kV 4,0 m
above 220 kV up to 380 kV 5,0 m
unknown nominal voltage 5,0 m
When approaching overhead lines all working movements
of the machine must be taken into consideration, e.g. the
position of jibs, the swinging of ropes and the dimensions
of slung loads.
In addition, attention must be paid to any roughness of soil
which could cause an inclined position of the machine thus
getting it closer to the overhead line. The fact that overhead
lines may swing out during windy weather and may reduce
the distance must also be taken into consideration.

S150/S151/S152/Z1521-10
1 Safety regulations
1.6.1.3 In the case of sparking over any work or move-
ment must stop. Instructions to be followed:
bring the machine out of the danger area by lifting or
lowering the attachments or by swiveling away or driving
the machine out of the area. If this is not possible then the
following rules must be observed:
- do not leave the driver’s cabin!
- Warn persons standing near the machine not to approach
or touch the machine!
- Give immediate instructions to have the power cut off!
- Leave the machine only when it is sure that the electricity
in the damaged/contacted power line is switched off so
that the line is dead!
1.6.1.4 Work on the electrical system or on the operating
system may only be carried out by a skilled electrician or
by personnel instructed or supervised by such trained
electrician according to electrotechnical regulations.
1.6.1.5 The electrical installation of a machine must be
reviewed/inspected at regular intervals. Any defects, e.g.
loose connections or scorched cabling, must be eliminated
immediately.
1.6.1.6 Always de-energise machine or system parts to
be inspected, maintained or repaired by disconnecting the
battery main switch.
1.6.1.7 Always disconnect the battery main switch be-
fore starting any electrical welding on the machine.
1.6.2 Hydraulic systems
1.6.2.1 Only experts may carry out work on the hydraulic
system.
1.6.2.2 All pipelines, hoses and screw connections must
be checked regularly for leakages and visible damages.
Immediately eliminate such defects. Spurting hydraulic oil
may cause injuries and fire.
1.6.2.3 Those hydraulic system segments which are to
be opened must be made free of pressure before
commencement of the repair work according to the
assembly group description.
1.6.2.4 The hydraulic pipelines must be correctly laid and
connected. Do not get the connections mixed up. The
spare parts must be in an accordance with the technical
requirements stipulated by the manufacturer. This is, of
course, guaranteed when original spare parts are ordered.
1.6.2.5 Never change factory settings for hydraulic com-
ponents (such as the maximum permissible speed for the
axial piston engine). Changing such settings will cause the
warranty to become void.
1.6.3 Noise
Sound protection equipment must be in protective position
during operation of the machine.

regulations of the operating manual.
1.8 Safety information for the contractor
or the contractor’s authorized personnel
1.8.1 Organizational measures
1.8.1.1 We would like to emphasize that parts and
accessories that are not supplied by us are also not tested
and approved by us. Installation and/or use of such products
can thus negatively affect the constructional qualities of
your loader and thereby reduce the active and passive
driving stability. The manufacturer cannot be held respon-
sible for damage that results from the use of non-original
parts and accessories.
1.8.1.2 Inform about the location/use of fire extinguishers
(1-5/arrow) and first-aid kit (on the maintenance plate
behind the driver's seat)!
1.8.2 Selection of personnel, qualifications;
additional duties
1.8.2.1 Only reliable persons are allowed to work on/with
the machine. The minimum legal age must be observed.
1.8.2.2 Only employ trained or instructed personnel.
Clearly define the competencies of the personnel regarding
operation, installation, maintenance and repair work.
Ensure that only authorized personnel may work on/ with
the machine.
1.8.2.3 Determine the driver’s responsibility regarding
traffic regulations. Authorize him to refuse instructions
given by third parties when these instructions are detrimental
to the safety of the driver and the machine.
1.8.2.4 Personnel that are being trained are permitted to
operate the loader only if they are under constant super-
vision of an experienced person authorized by the employer!
