 Intended use

General

> Machine Type – Heavy Excavator

> Self propelled machine with a tracked undercarriage

> 360° revolving upper structure with boom, dipper, bucket and slew mechanism

Intended Use

> The machine is intended to be used in normal conditions for the applications and in the
environmental condition as described in the operators manual

> When used normally with a bucket fitted to the machine the work cycle consists of, digging,
elevating, slewing and the discharging of material without movement of the undercarriage.

> Applications include earthmoving, road construction, building and construction, landscaping and
similar applications.

> An excavator can also be used for object handling if it is suitably equipped with the relevant parts
and systems.

> The machine must not be used in the following scenarios because of the risk of overturning; used
for forestry, used with attachments of unknown weight, used on surfaces of unknown stability. This
list is not exhaustive.

> If the machine is to be used in applications where there is a high silica concentration, risk due to
materials containing asbestos or similar hazards, additional protective measures such as the use of
PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) may be required.

> The machine should not be operated by any person who does not have an appropriate level of
qualification ,training or experience of use of this type of machine.

> Prior to use of the machine, its suitability (size, performance, specification etc.) should be considered
with regards to the intended application and any relevant hazards that may exist.
