The operator of the skip loader is responsible for handling it. Care must be taken to avoid injury or damage. Before operating the skip loader make sure that you have read and are fully aware of the warnings in this manual and on the skip loader.
- Stop the vehicle and put the handbrake on.
-
Make sure that there is nobody or anything else within the working area of the skip loader. - Turn the hydraulic pump ON. See "Hydraulic Pump".
-
Activate both the support-legs and lower them. Verify that they are placed firmly and secure on the ground. -
Activate the lifting-arm and place the skip onto the ground so that the lifting-plates become free from the lifting-lugs on the skip. -
Remove the lifting-plates from the skip and hang them up on their hooks on the skip loader. - Lower the lifting-arm and the folding-arm to their transport position.
-
Raise both of the support-legs. - Turn the hydraulic pump OFF.
If necessary, place supports under the support legs so that they do not sink into the ground.
Make sure that the skip is placed so that it does not come into contact with the folding-arm's cylinders.
Do not drive the vehicle with the lifting-arm or the folding-arm raised. Make sure that they are lowered before driving the vehicle.
