VIBRATION INFORMATION
Compact construction equipment is generally used in harsh environments. This
type of usage can expose an operator to uncomfortable levels of vibration. It is
useful to understand exposure to vibration levels when operating compact
equipment and what can be done to reduce vibration exposure. As a result,
equipment operation can be more efficient, productive and safe.
An operator's exposure to vibration occurs in two ways:
• Whole-Body Vibration (WBV)
• Hand-Arm Vibration (HAV)
WBV issues are primarily addressed in this manual, because evaluations have
shown that operation of mobile compact construction equipment on work sites
typically results in HAV levels less than the allowed exposure limit of 2.5 m/s2.

10
1.General information
Member States of the European Union must comply with the Physical Agents
(vibration) Directive, 2002/44/EC.
Effective control of vibration exposure for an operator involves more than just
vibration levels on the machine. The work site, how the machine is used, and
proper training all play important roles in reducing vibration exposure.
Vibration exposure results from:
• Work site conditions.
• How the machine is operated.
• The machine characteristics.
Common causes of high WBV levels:
• Using a machine that is improper for the task.
• Work site with potholes, ruts and debris.
• Improper operating techniques, such as driving too fast.
• Incorrect adjustment of the seat and controls.
• Other physical activities while using the machine.
Vibration Measurement and Actions
The vibration directive places the responsibility for compliance on employers.
Actions that should be followed by employers include:
• Assess the levels of vibration exposure.
• Determine from this assessment if operators will be exposed to vibration levels
above the limits stated in the directive.
• Take appropriate actions to reduce operator's exposure to vibration.
• Provide operators with information and training to reduce their exposure to
vibration.
• Keep good records and update operations and training on a regular basis.
If the assessment concludes that vibration level exposure is too high, one or more
of the following actions may be necessary:
1. Train operators
• Perform operations (accelerating, steering, braking, etc.) in a smooth manner.
• Adjust the controls, mirrors and seat suspension for comfortable operation.
• Travel across the smoothest parts of the work site and avoid ruts and potholes.
2. Choose proper equipment for the job
• Use machines with the proper power and capacity.
• Select machines with good suspension seats.
• Look for controls that are easy to use.
• Ensure good visibility from the operator's position.

11
1.General information
3. Maintain the work site
• Smooth ruts and fill potholes in traffic areas whenever possible.
• Clean up debris frequently.
• Vary traffic patterns to avoid exposure to rough terrain.
4. Maintain the equipment
• Ensure correct tire pressures.
• Check that seat suspension and all controls work smoothly and properly.
Vibration Level
The typical whole-body vibration level for the machine is listed in the declaration of
conformity, see chapter “EC Declaration of conformity”.

OPERATING THE MACHINE
CAUTION:
Driving on slopes should be avoided. The risk of tipping over
increases extremely when driving on slopes.
CAUTION:
Only drive on slopes when the loader attachment is empty. In the
event that the wheel loader should drive on a slope, the maximum
slope angle is 11.3º (20%).
1. Get on and off safely when entering or leaving the operator’s cab. Face the
machine. Always maintain a three point contact with the steps and handrails.
Do not use control levers as handles. Do not jump on or off the machine.
Never try to get on or off a moving machine.
2. Do not start engine or operate levers from anywhere other than the seat.
3. Before starting the engine, fasten the seat belt, make sure that the direction
lever is set in the neutral position, the parking brake switch is actuated and the
bucket is lowered to the ground.
4. Do not start engine by shorting across starter terminals.
5. Watch where you are going at all times. Watch for and avoid obstacles.
6. Never permit passengers on the machine. Keep bystanders away from the
machine during operation.
7. When working around other machines, let the other operators know what you
are doing at all times.
8. Never allow anyone to get under or near the bucket or attachment when it is
raised.
9. When raising the bucket or attachment, take extra caution to prevent it from
touching overhead wires or other obstacles. Contact with wires may cause
fatal injuries.
10. Keep away from the muffler while the engine is running and immediately after
it has stopped.
11. Hazardous operation such as on dangerous terrain, beyond the load capacity
or contrary to the intended use of the machine must be avoided as it may
cause the machine to tip over.
12. Do not drive the machine close to edges of ditches or banks which may
collapse under the weight of the machine, especially when the ground is loose
or wet.
13. Slow down for turns, uneven terrain and slopes to avoid tipping over.
14. When transporting a load, keep the loader bucket as low as possible to avoid
tipping over. Be extremely careful when working on inclines.
15. Operation on slopes can be dangerous. Rain, snow, gravel soft ground, etc.
will change the surface conditions. Do not operate the machine in questiona-

2.Applications
ble surface conditions. If operating on a slope or ramp, always slow down,
travel straight up and down the incline and not across. Keep the bucket as low
as possible. If you do not follow these instructions, the machine can go out of
control and tip over.
16. Avoid turning on a slope.
17. Never perform digging or shoveling with the machine in the articulated condi-
tion, or the machine may tip over.
18. Never dig or shovel at high speed. Such operation can cause the machine to
lose stability and its rear wheels to lift off the ground, which may lead to seri-
ous personal injury or fatal accidents.
19. Do not go up or down a 20° or steeper hill. Otherwise, the machine may skid
sideways or turn on its side. If the ground is not level or is soft, limit the slope
below 11.3º (20%).
20. To avoid tipping over, do not operate the machine on any site where the terrain
cannot be ascertained, such as ground covered with seeds or snow and check
for hidden projections, dips, road shoulders, etc. beforehand, and take care
not to approach them during work.
21. Be sure to ease off the accelerator pedal at the end of filling in trenches or
areas at the edge of a steep slope or pond bank or at the brow of a hill. When
the external load is reduced, the machine speed will automatically increase,
therefore reduce speed to avoid entering ditches or tipping over.
22. To avoid the machine slipping or tipping over, do not operate the machine on
ungraded or soft terrain, such as land fills. Grade and compact the site
beforehand at all times.
23. Do not run the engine indoors. Carbon monoxide gas from exhaust is
colorless, odorless and deadly.
24. Check that no one is near the machine before starting the engine to avoid dan-
ger from the machine. Check that there are no flammable objects, such as
dead leaves, sheets of paper, or pieces of cloth near to the engine before start-
ing the engine.
25. Be especially careful when reversing and watch the area behind the loader
exactly before starting to drive.
Caution with children
26. Serious accidents can occur if the operator does not pay attention to children
in the vicinity of the machine. Children are unpredictable!
27. Always keep an eye on children as they change their location continuously.
28. Make sure no children are within the working range of the machine.
29. Be extremely cautious when children approach the working area; stop
working, if necessary.
30. Do not carry children on the machine.
31. Do not allow children to operate the machine.
32. Do not allow children to play around the machine.
