1 Safety Regulations
1.5.1.21 The person giving guidance must be a reliable
person and must be informed about his tasks before
commencement of the work.
1.5.1.22 The driver and guide must agree on signals for
communication. These signals may only be given by the
driver and guide.
1.5.1.23 The guide must be easily recognizable – e.g. by
wearing warning clothing – and must always be in the
driver’s field of vision.
1.5.1.24 When passing under subways, bridges, tunnels,
electrical overhead lines, etc., make sure that there is
adequate clearance!
1.5.1.25 Maintain adequate clearance when working at
the edge of quarries, pits, rubbish dumps and embank-
ments to eliminate any danger of the machine plunging
down. The contractor or his deputy must stipulate the
distance from the edge, taking the soil bearing capacity
into consideration.
1.5.1.26 The machine may only be used at stationary
dumping areas when firmly integrated installations are
provided to prevent the machine from running or sliding
down.
1.5.1.27 Avoid such work which could have a detrimental
effect on the stability of the machine.
The following may affect the stability:
- overloading,
- ground that is too soft,
- abrupt acceleration or deceleration of driving or working
movement,
- reversing out of a high driving speed,
- working on slopes,
- driving too quickly round sharp bends,
- driving the machine on rough terrain when the bucket arm
is swivelled.
1.5.1.28 Do not traverse across slopes. Always carry
working equipment and loads near the ground, especially
when driving down slopes. Sudden cornering is forbidden!
1.5.1.29 On steep inclines and gradients, the load is to be
carried on the uphill side.
1.5.1.30 Reduce speed before inclines; always adapt the
speed of the machine to the local conditions!
Never change into low gear when driving on slopes, but
rather before the slope!
1.5.1.31 Reversing over a longer period must be avoided!
1.5.1.32 When leaving the machine, always safeguard the
machine to prevent it from unintentionally rolling away;
prevent non-authorised persons from using it!
1.5.1.33 The driver must not leave the machine if the
attachments are not lowered or safeguarded.
