Foreword - Volvo EC35 Operator's Manual

EC35/EC45

Foreword

This Operating Manual is intended as a guide to the correct
use and maintenance of the machine. You should therefore
thoroughly read this manual driving the machine, or before
performing any maintenance tasks.
Keep the manual in the cab so that it is always at hand. It
should be immediately replaced if it has been lost.
These operating instructions describe the applications the
machine is mainly intended for. It has been written in such a
way, that it is valid for all markets. Sections without any rele-
vance for your machine should therefore be disregarded and
skipped.
NOTE! The information contained in these operator's in-
structions applies for machine types EC35 (from serial
number: 283 18963) and EC45 (from serial number: 284
17799), if not specified differently.
Many hours of design work and development activities were
spent to produce a machine which meets the highest de-
mands with respect to safety and power. Accidents occurring
in spite of this are in most cases caused by human error. A
safety conscious person and a well maintained machine
make up a safe, efficient and profitable team. You should
therefore read and strictly observe the safety regulati-
ons.
We continually strive to improve our products and enhance
their efficiency by changing their design. We retain the right
to implement such changes without any commitment of intro-
ducing these improvements for machines in the field. We also
reserve the right to change data and equipment, as well as in-
structions for service and maintenance without prior notice.
Safety regulations
The operator is obliged to know the applicable national and
local safety regulations. The safety regulations in this manual
only apply if there are no applicable national or local regulati-
ons in effect.
WARNING!
The symbol above appears at various points in the
manual together with a warning text and has the fol-
lowing meaning:
Warning, be alert! Your personal safety is involved! It
is the duty of the operator to make sure that all warn-
ing decals are legible and correctly in place on the
machine. Accidents may otherwise occur.
Become acquainted with the working capacity
and the limits of your machine!
