Danger! There is an acute hazard to life for all people standing in the hazard zone
during the loading process! No people may be located in the hazard zone during loading.
If people approach the hazard zone, the machine must be immediately immobilized
and the loading operation must be interrupted. The people must be strictly instructed
to leave the hazard zone. The loading process may only be continued when all people
are located outside of the hazard zone. If these people do not leave in spite of being
requested to do so, then the loading process may neither be begun nor continued.
6.13.2 Safety circuits for loading operation
The euro-Maus4 is fitted with multiple safety circuits. It is not permitted to bypass these
or otherwise render them inoperable. These circuits are the result of accident analyses
and are intended to contribute to increase safety for people in especially critical phases
of the loading process. Simultaneously, the driver is always reminded of his personal
responsibility.
Anyone who tries to manipulate these circuits in any manner, thereby knowingly
violating safety requirements, shall be held completely responsible for his actions
and is guilty of gross negligence. He is fully responsible for all consequences and
shall also be held liable!

the machine – especially within range of the pickup. No people may be located in the
hazard zone during loading. If people approach the hazard zone, the machine must be
immediately immobilized and the loading operation must be interrupted. The people
