WARNING
Risk of fatal accidents.
Using attachments for lifting or transporting persons
may lead to fatal accidents with serious crushing
injury or death.
Never use attachments for lifting or transporting
persons.
NOTE!
For hydraulically controlled attachments:

before removing or connecting hydraulic hoses for
hydraulically controlled attachments. See page

system pressure.
WARNING
Risk of high pressure injection.
Residual pressure in the hydraulic system could
lead to oil under high pressure jetting out and cause
serious injury, even if the engine has not been
running for some time.
Always release the pressure before any kind of
service of the hydraulic system is carried out.
NOTE!
Any persons involved in the process of changing
attachments must be familiar with the operation of
the machine and should know the signalling pattern.
Using the correct attachment for a particular job is
a deciding factor when it comes to the capacity of
the machine. The machine has either direct-

hydraulically controlled bracket which allows rapid
changes of attachments.
Always follow Volvo Construction Equipment
recommendations when choosing attachments. If
other attachments are used, follow the operator's
