Operator's Manual
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide. Inhaling exhaust gases can
lead to death in a few minutes.
• Do not inhale exhaust gas.
• Do not operate machine in an enclosed/partially enclosed or poorly
ventilated or vented area.
• Particular caution is required when operating in ditches, because a
high concentration of carbon monoxide can form in ditches after a
short time.
• Ensure adequate ventilation/exhaustion.
Warning! Risk of explosion from fuel vapors.
Fuel vapors are highly flammable and can cause an explosion. This can
seriously injure people and cause damage to property.
• Do not start the engine near spilled fuel.
• Open fire and smoking prohibited.
Warning! Risk of injury due to unsafe work environment.
Unsafe working environment can cause the machine to tip, roll, slide and
fall. People can be injured as a result.
• Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the working environ-
ment, e.g. load-bearing capacity of the floor or obstacles in the envi-
ronment.
• Always secure the machine against tipping, rolling, slipping and fall-
ing.
• Observe the changing ground conditions, especially on uneven and
soft ground or on slopes. Secure the machine against slipping!
• When working near pits, ditches or plateaus, exercise caution! The
load-bearing capacity capacity of the ground must safely carry the
weight of the machine and the operator.

Distraction by others can result in loss of machine control. This can seri-
ously injure people and cause damage to property.
• Secure work area to public transport area.
• Keep unauthorized persons and children away when working with this
machine.
