ners or heating oil, which can form explosive vapours or mix-
tures through suction air turbulence, also acetone, undiluted
acids and solvents because these attack the materials used in
the machine.
 Never sweep or vacuum reactive metal dusts (e.g. aluminium,
magnesium, zinc) because they form explosive gases in con-
junction with highly alkaline or acidic cleaning agents.
 Never sweep or vacuum burning or smouldering objects.
 Do not remain in the hazard zone.
 Never operate the vehicle in potentially explosive environ-
ments.
 Never transport persons on the vehicle, the loading area or at-

Environmental protection

The packing materials can be recycled. Please dispose of
packaging in accordance with the environmental regula-
tions.
Electrical and electronic appliances contain valuable, recy-
clable materials and often components such as batteries, re-
chargeable batteries or oil, which - if handled or disposed of
incorrectly - can pose a potential threat to human health and the
environment. However, these components are required for the
correct operation of the appliance. Appliances marked by this
symbol are not allowed to be disposed of together with the house-
hold rubbish.

 Dispose of any operating and auxiliary materials according to
the valid safety data sheets.

Disposal of the worn out vehicle

Vehicles that are no longer fit for service contain valuable recy-
clable materials. We recommend you cooperate with a waste
management company with regard to the disposal of your vehi-
cle.

Safety information concerning the driving operation

●
DANGER Danger of tilting if hill or slope is too steep! Ob-
serve the maximum permissible values in the technical data
when driving up hills and slopes.
cessive tilting at side! Observe the maximum permissible values
in the technical data when driving lateral to the travel direction.
●
Danger of tilting on unstable subsurfaces! Only use the device
on firm subsurfaces.
●
WARNING Risk of accident due to not adapting speed. Ap-
proach corners slowly.
●
CAUTION Driver cabins are equipped with air exit slats. Al-
ways keep these free from obstructions to ensure sufficient ven-
tilation.
●
Note This list of tilting hazards makes no claim to be complete.

from the drive area. Be aware of the engine after-running time af-
ter switching off (3-4 seconds).

Safety instructions for transport

WARNING
Pay attention to the weight of the vehicle to avoid accidents and
injuries, see Chapter Technical data.
Pay attention to the vehicle height during transport on a trailer or
lorry and secure the vehicle, see Chapter Technical data.

Safety instructions for care and maintenance

 Switch off the engine and remove the ignition key before per-
forming cleaning or maintenance work on the vehicle, replac-
ing parts or changing the functionality of the vehicle.
 Repairs may only be carried out by approved customer service
sites or staff qualified in this area who are familiar with all rel-
evant safety instructions.
 Adhere to the safety checks according to the applicable local
regulations for mobile commercial vehicles.
 The articulated joint, tyres, radiator fins, hydraulic hoses and
valves, seals, electrical and electronic components must not
be cleaned using a high-pressure cleaner.

Additional operating safety instructions

Note
The information in this chapter is also provided on a supplemen-
tary sheet that must always be carried on the vehicle.
General
The vehicle has a hydrostatic drive and articulated steering. It
therefore exhibits driving characteristics that are different to those
of a motorcar.
WARNING
Danger of tipping over
Please note that the driving characteristics of a vehicle with artic-
ulated steering differ considerably from those of a motorcar.
Drive around curves at an even and appropriate speed. This ap-
plies, in particular, for driving uphill/downhill and driving across
the face of a slope.
Be aware of the changes in the centre of gravity of the vehicle
due to attachments and the filling level of the waste container.
Adjust the travel speed to the ambient conditions when driving in
a straight line and when driving around bends, e.g. road condi-
tions and the load status.
Note decoupling of the front and rear part of the vehicle via a cen-
tral pendulum joint.
