MiniZ400 Operation Manual
Provided by KOVACO Electric Safe operation of the MiniZ 400 loader is the user's responsibility. This high-performance loader requires adherence to all safety rules to prevent injury or death. The machine provider is responsible for proper user training, explaining risks, and ensuring correct usage. This includes providing training materials like the "Manual for Machine Maintenance and Operation" and the "Manual for Machine Operation." Users must familiarize themselves with these documents before operating the machine and keep them accessible. Safety labels on the machine are crucial for driver safety; failure to observe them can lead to injury or death. Users must also be familiar with safe loader operation practices and wear appropriate protective equipment (protective clothes, protective shoes, protective helmet, protective glasses, and protective gloves) suitable for the conditions. Physical and mental fitness are essential for safe operation. If safety labels are damaged, contact the manufacturer immediately for replacements.
