KNOW THE CAPACITY AND LIMITS OF YOUR MACHINE!
FOREWORD
This Operators Manual is intended as a guide for
the correct use and maintenance of the machine.
The manual should always be kept in the vehicle.
Carefully read the manual before starting and
operating the machine or before carrying out any
preventive maintenance.
We have taken many hours in designing and
producing the safest and most efficient equipment
possible. All this may be wasted if you do not read
the safety instructions or if you do not follow them.
Make yourself familiar with all controls and
instructions and keep this manual in the machine for
handy reference. If the manual is lost, it should be
replaced immediately.
Machines rarely cause accidents, whereas people
do. A safety conscious person and a well
maintained machine make a safe, efficient and
profitable combination.
This manual has been adapted to cover all
markets, thus it may contain information about
equipment not necessarily fitted to the version
of the machine you have purchased.
We therefore ask you to disregard information
which is not applicable to your machine.
We are continually striving to improve our products
and therefore, reserve the right to make changes
and improvements to the design whenever we
consider that these increase the efficiency of the
product. However, this does not commit us to
introduce these improvements on products which
have already been delivered or are in service. We
also retain the right to change data and equipment,
as well as instructions for service and maintenance
without prior notice.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
Every country (State) has its own safety
regulations. It is the obligation of the operator to
know and follow these. This also applies to local
regulations covering different types of work. Should
the recommendations in this manual deviate from
those of your country (State), your local safety
regulations should be followed.
SAFETY ALERT SYMBOL
This symbol, which will appear at various points in
the manual and on the machine together with a
warning statement, means: ”Warning, be alert!
Your safety is involved!” Carefully read the
message that follows. It is the obligation of the
operator to make sure that all warning decals
are in place on the machine and that they are
readable. Accidents may otherwise occur.
