PRESENTATION
The AL 150 model is a hydraulic machine. It is made up of loader parts, an
engine, hydraulic systems and a driver cab. When the driver operates the controls
the engine-driven pump sends hydraulic fluid towards the distributor which, in
turn, directs it towards the various components. A cooler, installed next to the
engine water radiator, keeps the hydraulic fluid at standard operating temperature.

SAFETY STANDARDS
Your safety and the safety of those working nearby depends on you! It is absolutely vital
that you have a full understanding of the manual instructions concerning proper machine
operation, inspection and maintenance work.
Read this manual carefully and in particular make sure:
- that you understand the control symbols and the safety recommendations both in this
manual and on the machine.
- that you are perfectly aware of machine performance data such as speed, stability,
braking and steering radius. Should you have any doubts whatsoever please get in touch
with your Ahlmann Distributor.
The safety information contained in this manual refers to situations which may occur
during normal machine use and maintenance work, and gives various ways of dealing
with such situations. The manual also contains safety information concerning other
dangers.
Whatever the work being carried out, the applicable private and public work site safety
regulations are those which comply with standards in force in the country or professional
sector in which the machine is being used (e.g. mines, quarries, underground works).
The safety regulations described in this manual summarise basic safety rules which
should be observed at all times and do not exonerate the user from observance of the
highway code or conditions of insurance.

GB
Before using the machine
Do not drive the vehicle until the instructions and warnings contained in
this manual have been read and fully understood.
Vehicle control requires great care: prudence will help you avoid accidents.
Make sure you are aware of machine performance, limitations and necessary
steering space.
The steering zone has blind spots: it is therefore advisable to have someone
guide work when visibility cannot be ensured.
Lubricant, oil, mud or ice (in winter) on the footboard and handholds may
cause accidents. Keep them clean at all times.
Check the machine every day in order to make sure there are no oil or
hydraulic fluid leaks. Tighten and replace wherever necessary.
Make sure you understand on-site hand signals. This will ensure that you
are properly guided during precision machine manoeuvres or when direct
visibility is impaired.
Before transferring to another site or starting night work make sure that all
lights/indicators are working properly.
Before moving the vehicle always make sure that the doors, the engine
hood and the front inspection hatch are properly closed.
Never leave anything (tools etc.) lying on the machine or in the driver’s
seat.
Only the driver should be in the vehicle. Make sure that there is nobody
near or on the vehicle.
When getting in and out of the cab always use the footboard and the
handholds.
Check that all controls and safety devices are working properly and that
you are in a safe, obstacle-free area before starting work.
Keep well away from danger zones such as ditches, overhangs, subsidence-
prone areas etc. Inspect the work zone before using the machine and
carefully evaluate the risks.
Check out and weigh up all possible risks before driving the vehicle in a
new work zone. Holes, obstacles, rubble and other risk factors may cause
serious physical injury.
Be ready in case of an emergency!Always keep a first-aid kit nearby and
a fire extinguisher on board the vehicle, within the driver’s reach. Have
the extinguisher regularly serviced in compliance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Make sure you clearly understand the safety sticker symbols on the machine.
Make sure they are clean and legible at all times.
Always fasten your seat belt before starting. The vehicle is equipped with
a roll-over protection system (ROPS) which ensures safety. The seat belt
must not be too slack: it will protect the driver efficiently if fastened
correctly and worn at all times. The belt must not even be twisted or jammed
in the seat.
Operator must be in perfect physical conditions. In case of tiredness he/
she must not drive the vehicle. Should the operator have drunk spirits or
taken drugs/ medicines which could lower attention, he/ she must avoid
driving.
Make sure that you are fully aware of the position and function of all the
controls. Incorrect use of the controls could cause serious physical injury.
Periodically check tire pressure and wear.
In order to avoid accidents, dress properly. Do not wear too large clothes
which may be trapped by the machinery.
Maximise visibility by cleaning the windshield, windows and rear-view
mirrors.
In case of poor visibility do not use the vehicle.

mind the machine steering radius. Local legislation will define the number,
type and position of signs and reflectors.
Do not run the engine in a closed space. Always provide adequate
ventilation.
Never authorise anybody to get on the vehicle since a passenger could fall
or cause an accident.
Never operate a loader control or vehicle drive device unless you are
properly seated in the drive seat.
Do not work near live overhead power cables without first ensuring
observance of minimum distances. Less than 57.000 Volt: 3 metres, more
than 57.000 Volt: 5 metres.
Locate pipes/ducts/cabling etc. before digging. Electrical cables, gas mains,
water pipes and other underground works could cause serious physical
injury.
Before manoeuvring the vehicle, take working conditions (slopes, rough
terrain), road conditions and weather conditions into careful consideration.
Behave and drive accordingly.
The max on-road-transfer speed is 32 km/h (20 km/h in Germany). The
max on-site speed is 7 km/h.
Use the controls in sequence to ensure proper machine operation.
When transporting the machine on a trailer position the speed selector at
on-site speed. Keep the loading bucket at least 20 cm from the ground.
Using the digging gear to “sweep” the ground to level dug out material or
push objects (side-on gear stress) is absolutely forbidden.
Stop the engine even during brief pauses.
Never leave the driver’s cab with the engine running.
When getting in and out of the driver’s seat the loading gear controls MUST
categorically be locked in place. NEVER disobey this safety regulation.
Dust, smoke and fog reduce visibility, increasing the likelihood of an
accident. Stop or slow down until visibility is restored.
Never jump down from the machine. When getting out of the cab always
use the footboard and the handholds.
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, immediately set the digging gear
down on the ground, stop the engine and pull the hand brake. Identify the
fault and/or report it: take any necessary measures to prohibit machine use.
All on-road transfers must be effected in forward gear.
Vehicle must be driven only by expert and authorised personnel. For on-
road transfers the drivers must have a regular driving licence (“B” or
upper category); the use of a pivotable headlight is compulsory.
It is forbidden to carry passengers on the vehicle. The vehicle has been
approved for the transport of one person only. It is not allowed to use the
vehicle (bucket, forks, etc.) as a base plate for lifting people.
Should the machine be stopped on a gradient, chock the wheels (law in
certain countries).
