Safety information
1.2 General Provisions
• The machine fulfills all the applicable
safety and health requirements stip-
ulated in the EU directives with re-
gard to its planning, constructional
design and final construction as in-
troduced by us onto the market. In
the case of modifications to the ma-
chine not approved by us, the EC
Declaration of Conformity enclosed
in this operating manual loses its va-
lidity.
• Apart from the provisions contained
in this instruction manual, the gener-
al safety provisions and the accident
prevention regulations as imposed
by law have to be complied with.
• Before taking your machine into op-
eration, carefully read the instruction
manual as well as other separate in-
structions for accessories or at-
tached implements and comply with
all points mentioned there during
work.
• Persons being trained by qualified
Minuteman technicians only are au-
thorised to operate, service and re-
pair the machine.
• You are advised to thoroughly study
the safety instructions since precise
knowledge only helps avoiding er-
rors during operation of the machine
and thus guarantee faultless usage
of the machine.
• The operating instructions have to
be at hand at the place of use of the
machine, and therefore have to be
kept readily available at the ma-
chine.
• When selling or letting the machine
for rent, hand out these documents
to the new owner/operator and have
the transfer certified!
• The warning and instruction plates
attached to the machine contain
valuable advice about safe opera-
tion. Immediately replace incomplete
or illegible labels.
• As far as safety standards are con-
cerned, spare have to equal genuine
spare parts!
1.3 Operating information

the first time, the battery to be used
must be fully charged, properly, by
implementing the initial battery
charge routine. Please pay attention
to the operating manual provided

er. Minuteman assumes no liability
for damage to the battery caused by
a fault when the battery is charged
for the first time.
• Check the operational safety of the
machine each time before starting it
up! Clear any faults immediately! In
the case of function faults in respect
of the charger and damage to the
power cable or battery leads, the
Power Pack must not be put into op-
eration. Please contact your nearest
authorized Minuteman service cen-
ter.
• Before starting work, the operator
must be fully familiar with all adjust-
ment, operating and control ele-
ments as well as their respective
function! It is too late to do this when
the machine is actually in operation!
• Always wear heavy duty, non-slip
footwear when working with the ma-
chine.
