1.1 Safety
Keep a safe distance to the
articulation point
Turn the steering wheel
carefully
Egholm 2100 is an articulated machine
and has a very sensitive steering.
Avoid acid burns and battery
explosions
Batteries contain acid, which can cause
severe burns, and fumes that can
explode. Handle with great caution!
Avoid exhaust gas poisoning
Motor vehicle exhaust gas can cause
symptoms like headache, nausea,
dizziness, or in worst case be fatal when
inhaled in sufficient quantities. Do not
idle the vehicle in an unventilated garage
or other confined space. Lead the
exhaust gas away through an exhaust
hose or open doors and windows fully
before starting the engine, to prevent a
build-up of exhaust gas.
Avoid accidents caused by
tipping
Do not run the machine where it may
slide or tip over. Do not run the
machine on slopes or inclines
exceeding 10%.
Keep children in a safe distance
when the machine is in
operation.
