your Dealer to make sure that the adaptations or
modifications carried out are in conformity with the
machine’s technical specifications and with current
regulations on safety.
Any modifications or adaptations which are not
approved by the Manufacturer may invalidate the
machine’s original conformity with safety require-
ments.
Before entrusting this machine to an operator, make
sure that:
- the operator has received necessary training on
how to operate the machine correctly and safely
in one of our Training Centres or from an
approved organization;
- the operator has read and fully understood the
instructions given in this Manual.
Consult your Dealer to obtain extra manuals or
manuals in other languages.
Your Dealer is at your disposal for any further infor-
mation.

ual for the correct operation, inspection, lubrication
and maintenance of this machine.
Pay particular attention to the “Fundamental safety
instructions” and to all warnings and safety instruc-
tions attached to the machine.
Familiarize yourself with the machine operation and
the operating patterns of the control elements prior
to starting up the machine.
The operators must be fully informed about the
operation and application of this or comparable
machines.
The safety messages in this section concern situa-
tions which may arise during normal machine oper-
ation and maintenance. These safety messages
also indicate the different ways of coping with these
situations. Other safety messages are used
throughout the manual to indicate specific dangers.
Always keep this manual in the storage compart-
ment provided for it. Make sure that it is always

DESIGNATED USE
The machine has been built in accordance with
state-of-the-art standards and the recognized safety
rules. Nevertheless, its use may constitute a risk to
life and limb for the user or third parties or cause
damage to the machine and to other material prop-
erty.
The machine must be used in accordance with its
designated use, by observing the safety and pre-
cautionary rules and by strictly following the operat-
ing instructions. Any functional disorders, especially
those affecting the safety of the machine, should
therefore be rectified immediately.
The excavator equipped with front attachment,
standard bucket or clamshell, is designed solely for
excavating, turning over and loading excavated
soils, sand, gravel, blasted rock, ore, coal and other
raw materials.
The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held responsi-
ble for any damage resulting from other than the
designated use. The risk involved in such misuse
lies entirely with the user.
1
SDANGER S
Using the excavator or its attachments for purposes
other than those stated above, e.g.:
- for lifting or transporting persons;
- as a working platform;
- for lifting crane loads without the attachment
being approved for this purpose;
- for pulling slung loads;
- for driving in posts, supports, sheet-piles, without
the attachment being approved for this purpose;
is considered contrary to the designated use.
Improper use may involve a life-threatening risk for
operators or other personnel or may cause injury or
extensive damage.

LEVEL OF VIBRATIONS TRANSMITTED
TO THE OPERATOR
The vibration level to the operator depends mainly
on the conditions of the ground where the machine
is being operated and on the use conditions of the
machine and its equipment.
The exposition to vibrations can be remarkably
reduced if the recommendations here below are fol-
lowed:
- use equipment suitable for the machine and the
type of work to be carried out;
- adjust and lock the seat in the correct position;
regularly check for the seat suspensions and carry
out adjustments or maintenance as required;
- carry out regularly the ordinary maintenance of the
machine at scheduled intervals;
- operate the attachment evenly, avoiding sudden
motion or extreme shocks, if possible;
- avoid, as far as possible, to travel on particularly
uneven soils or the impact with possible obsta-
cles.
This machine is equipped with an operator’s seat in
compliance with ISO 7096: 2000 standard.
This guarantees that the operator’s body exposures
to vibrations respect the requirements for protection
against vibrations when the machine is used
according to its destination as explained in this man-
ual.
The weighted average acceleration value to which
the operator’s arms are subjected does not exceed
2.5 m/s2 (8.20 ft/s2).
The weighted average acceleration value to which
the operator’s body is subjected does not exceed
0.5 m/s2 (1.64 ft/s2). These results have been
obtained by using an acceleration gauge during the
ditches excavation works.

BEFORE OPERATING THE MACHINE
Read and assimilate the instructions and warnings
shown in this manual before operating the machine.
The presence of grease, oil, mud or (in winter) ice
on the steps and access handles can cause acci-
dents. Make sure they are always clean.
Remove anything which might hinder visibility.
Clean the windshield, windows and rear view mir-
rors.
Before travelling or working at night, check that the
lighting and signalling systems are operating cor-
rectly.
Make sure the doors and the engine guard are cor-
rectly fastened before undertaking any travel.
Make sure that no loose object or tool is left on the
machine or in the operator’s compartment.
When mounting or dismounting from the machine
always face the machine and use the steps and
access handles on the left-hand side of the
machine.
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate for the job.
It is necessary to have at disposal:
- safety helmet;
- safety shoes;
- safety goggles, or face shield;
- heavy gloves;
- hearing protection;
- reflective clothing;
- wet weather clothing;
- respirator or filter mask.
Wear close fitting clothing and safety equipment
appropriate for the job. Do not leave anything to the
case. Avoid wearing loose clothing, jewellery, or
other items that can catch on control levers or other
parts of the machine.
To operate the machine in full safety, the operator
should be completely careful. Do not wear radio or
music headphones while operating machine.
SDANGER S
The operator should be the only person on the
machine. Make sure there is nobody on or near the
machine.

PREPARE FOR EMERGENCIES
Be prepared if a fire starts or an accident occurs.
Keep the first-aid kit and fire extinguisher on hand.
Thoroughly read and understand the label attached
to the fire extinguisher to use it properly.
Establish emergency priority procedures to cope
with fires and accidents.
Keep emergency numbers for doctors, ambulance
service, hospitals and fire department posted near
the telephone.
SEAT BELT
On machines with a seat belt for operator’s safety:
- check the seat belt attached to the operator’s
seat. In the event of damage or after an accident,
have it replaced immediately;
- fasten seat belt before starting to work.
WARM-UP INSTRUCTIONS
In the event of low temperatures, the engine must
undergo the warm-up phase. The engine can be run
at full speed only at the end of the warm-up phase.
