INTRODUCTION, SAFETY, PLATES AND DECALS
The loader backhoes 580SR - 580SR+ - 590SR -

moving operations.
If you use this machine for duties involving the use
of attachments, accessories, or special tools, con-
sult your Dealer to make sure that the adaptations or
modifications carried out are in conformity with the
machine's technical specifications and with current
regulations on safety.
Any modifications or adaptations which are not
approved by the Manufacturer may invalidate the
machine's original conformity with safety require-
ments.

DESIGNATED USE

The machine has been built in accordance with
state-of-the-art standards and the recognized safety
rules.
The machine must be used in accordance with its
designated use, by observing the safety and pre-
cautionary rules and by strictly following the operat-
ing instructions. Any functional disorders, especially
those affecting the safety of the machine, should
therefore be rectified immediately.

DANGER
A different use of the excavator or of its working
equipment:
- for lifting or transporting persons;
- as a working platform;
- for lifting loads without the attachment being
approved for this purpose;
- for pulling slung loads;
is considered contrary to the designated use.
Improper use may cause injury or life-threatening
risks for the operator and for other persons.
The manufacturer/supplier cannot be held responsi-
ble for any damage resulting from other than the
designated use. The risk involved in such misuse
lies entirely with the user.
