PRESENTATION OF THE MANUAL
General information
The operator of this equipment must read this manual with care and attention before operating
the machine.
This manual is intended for the owner and people likely to use and maintain the machine
produced by Chargeur Plus. This manual was written to ensure the complete safety of the users
of the equipment.
All manufacturing parts, connectors and controls were designed and built with maximum safety
in mind, meaning they are particularly robust, even when they are not used in accordance with
this manual.
The machine (in its assembled form) was tested before being delivered. Long-term performance
depends on the correct usage and necessary preventive maintenance, in accordance with the
instructions given in this manual.
For the usage, maintenance, restoration and technical safety checks of the retro excavator, the
owner must ensure that the person using the equipment has the necessary skills to do so.
Only people capable of using the retro excavator independently, and those who have received the
necessary information for operating this machine are authorized to operate it.
Original spare parts can be ordered directly from SAS Chargeur Plus or through one of their
approved dealers. It is therefore necessary to specify the name of the model, the date the machine
was put into circulation and a photo of the part if necessary. Any parts ordered from another
dealer could compromise the safety of the machine.
First use of the machine
Before using the machine for the first time, carry out a visual inspection of the retro excavator to
make sure no external damage occurred during transport. Check all the parts supplied with the
machine.
•Check the levels of oil
See the maintenance chapter in order to carry out these checks correctly.
Running-in the retro excavator:
For the first 50 hours of use, it is absolutely essential to follow these instructions:
•Warm up the retro excavator with medium engine power and rev the engine a little; do
not warm up the engine at idling speed,
•Do not rev the engine unnecessarily.
Specific maintenance instructions:
•Check the hydraulic oil to make sure there are not any visible impurities.

CE CONFORMITY DECLARATION
With this CE declaration of conformity, the company CHARGEUR PLUS confirms that the retro
excavator respects all regulations and standards applicable at the time of delivery. CE conformity
marking is mentioned on the serial number plate; this confirms compliance with all applicable
regulations and standards.
Any unauthorized modifications or any spare part added at a later date could have a negative
impact on the stability of the retro excavator and as a consequence, the CE declaration of
conformity is no longer valid.
When the assembled retro excavator is delivered, the CE declaration of conformity is attached to
the invoice. This CE declaration of conformity must be carefully retained and presented upon
request, to the appropriate authorities.
