Safety
11
• Before stopping the machine, remove the interchangeable accessory according to the
instructions in this manual and place the interchangeable accessory in a safe location.
• If the hydraulic steering cylinder fails, fit the jib lock rod. See section 0.
• At all times prevent persons going under the load.
• People must remain at a distance of 5,5 yards (5 m) from the working machine.
• Explore the surrounding area and remove any obstacles.
Instructions concerning certain risks
• Make sure you know where the fire extinguishers are.
• In the event of fire: keep a sufficient distance away from the machine. If the hydraulic
fluid lines overheat, they can break and cause flash fires of burning hydraulic fluid.
• Use only fuses from the manufacturer.
• Avoid prolonged overloading of the hydraulics. This causes overheating of the machine.
Always ensure that the hydraulic control is in the neutral position when starting the
machine.
• Check the hydraulic fluid level daily and top up if necessary.
• Replace the hydraulic fluid filters and the hydraulic fluid at least once a year.
• Be careful when using hydraulic fluid and battery acid.
• Avoid high speeds with a low oil temperature: drive for the first 5 minutes at an
increased engine speed (1500 rpm), without a load.
• Refueling:
• Before refueling:
• Switch off all electrical systems.
• Switch off the engine and allow the engine and exhaust to cool down to a
lukewarm temperature.
• Refuel in a well-ventilated area.
• Do not refuel near open flames or sparks.
• Do not smoke while refueling.
• Make sure that no fuel, oil or grease gets on the machine.
• Only use the machine in well-ventilated areas.
• Only use original parts from the manufacturer.
• Avoid shocks and vibrations.
• Do not use the machine as an anchor point.
Instructions concerning hydraulic parts
The machine and its attachments contain hydraulic components. These involve specific
dangers:
• The hydraulic oil heats up during use. Contact with hot hydraulic oil can lead to burns.
• The hydraulic oil is under high pressure. Hydraulic oil that sprays out of the system
under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injuries. Therefore, never look
for leaks by feeling with your bare hand and use the necessary personal protective
equipment.

Operating principle: driving the wheels
Hydraulic wheel motors drive the wheels of the machine, one motor per wheel. The
hydraulic pressure comes from a hydraulic pump that is driven in turn by a diesel engine.
The accelerator pedal of the machine controls the speed of the diesel engine and thus
indirectly the power and the speed of the hydraulics. The inching pedal can be used as a
brake pedal.
Example
You can use the inching pedal simultaneously with the accelerator pedal, for example to
drive slowly across rough terrain or to lift heavy loads and drive slowly. Simultaneously
operate the gas pedal (for the power) and the inching pedal (to limit the speed). When
you press the inching pedal all the way in, the machine stops.
