6. Do not run the engine in closed or poorly venti-
lated spaces. Carbon monoxide is colourless,
odourless and deadly.
7. Leave all safety elements and cladding in place.
Replace damaged or missing safety devices.
8. Precautionary measures against overturning. Keep
away from steep slopes and embankments to en-
sure safe operation. Do not swivel the bucket down-
wards. Lower the levelling blade when digging.
Keep the bucket as low as possible when travel-
ling uphill. Turn carefully on slopes. Do not keep
the excavator close to the edges of trenches and
embankments, as the earth could give way due to
the weight of the excavator.
9. Always pay attention to where the excavator is
moving. Keep an eye out for obstacles.
10. Keep sufficient distance from ditches and bank
edges. Protection of children! If the operator does
not pay attention to the presence of children, trag-
ic accidents can occur. Children are generally at-
tracted to machines and their activities.
11. Never assume that children will stay where you
last saw them.
12. Keep children away from the work area and leave
them under the supervision of a responsible adult.
13. Pay attention and switch off your machine if children
enter the work area.
14. Never transport children on your machine. There
is no safe place for them there. They could fall
down and be run over or interfere with the controls
of your machine.
15. Do not allow children to operate the machine,
even under adult supervision.
16. Never allow children to play on the machine or its
attachments.
17. Take extra care when reversing, look behind and
down and make sure the area is clear before you
start moving.
18. If possible, park the machine on firm, flat and level
ground. Lower the attachments to the ground, re-
move the key from the ignition lock and wedge the
crawlers.
