Swivelling the roll-over saftey bar upward is effected in
reverse order.

elled upward position is locked by the locking bolts
(previous figure/3 and 4) and secured by the safety
bolts (previous figure/1 and 2).

Push both drive levers simultaneously forward to drive the excavator straight. Releasing the drive levers
stops the excavator immediately.

levers is exactly opposite. Drive levers forward
→ the excavator drives backwards.

positioned at the rear, the steering movements should be in the opposite direction.
When making turns, be sure nobody is standing within the swing area of the excavator.
