Safety Information
1.2 General information
• In addition to the information provid-
ed in this operating manual, all the
legally applicable health and safety
provisions must be observed.
• Before starting up the machine for
the first time, read the operating
manual supplied with it thoroughly as
well as any separate manuals pro-
vided with additional or attachment
devices and observe all the informa-
tion during work.
• The equipment may only be operat-
ed, serviced and repaired by person-
nel trained by Minuteman technical
experts.
• Particular attention should be paid to
the information regarding safety.
Technical expertise is the key to pre-
venting errors when operating the
machine and ensuring trouble-free
operation.
• The operating manual must always
be kept at the operating location of
the machine and, as a result, should
kept in a safe place on the equip-
ment.
• If the equipment is sold or rented out,
these documents should be trans-
ferred to the new owner/operator.
The transfer should be confirmed!
• The warning labels attached to the
machine provide important informa-
tion concerning safe operation.
Illegible or missing labels must be re-
placed by new ones.
• For reasons of safety, always use
original spare parts.
1.3 Operating information

ing up fluids, dust or substances

en through puddles of water.
• Before starting the machine up for
the first time, the battery to be used

erly fitted before the machine can be
taken into operation.

must be fully familiar with all adjust-

function! It is too late to do this when
the machine is actually in operation!
