OPERATION MANUAL
2.1.3. Driver’s obligations
• Prior to start of the machine operation, the driver is obliged
to study instructions stated in the documentation supplied
together with the machine, especially with safety precau-
tions. The driver is obliged to observe such instructions very
strictly. The same applies to personnel appointed with main-
tenance, adjustment and repairs of the machine. (In case
you do not understand some parts of the manuals, contact
the nearest dealer or the manufacturer.)
• The driver must only drive the machine if he is fully familiar-
ized with all its functions, operating and control elements
and if he knows exactly how to operate the machine.
• The driver is obliged to follow the safety symbols placed on
the machine and keep them legible.
• Before starting the work, the driver must get familiar with
the worksite environment, i.e. with obstructions, gradients,
utility lines, with necessary types of workplace protections
with respect to the surroundings (noise, vibrations, etc.).
• When a risk to health or life of persons or a risk to property
is detected, or in the case of defect of the technical equip-
ment or if symptoms of such risks are found during opera-
tion, the driver, unless he is able to remove such risks on his
own, must stop the work and secure the machine against
incidental start, report the case to the person in charge and
notify all persons exposed to the detected risk.
• Prior to starting the machine operation, the driver is obliged
to acquaint himself with records and operational deviations
found during the previous working shift.
• Prior to starting work, the driver is obliged to inspect the
machine and accessories, to check its controls, communica-
tion and safety equipment and to make sure that they are
functional in accordance with the manual. When the driver
detects a defect that might endanger the safety of work and
that he is not able to repair, he must not put the machine
into operation and must report such defect to the worker
in charge.
• When the driver detects a defect during operation, he must
stop the machine immediately and secure it against inciden-
tal start.
• During operation, the driver must observe the function of
the machine and to record any detected defects into the log
of operation.
• The driver must maintain the log of operation, which is de-
signed for keeping records on the machine take-over and
hand-over between individual drivers and on defects occur-
ring and repairs carried out during operation as well as for
recording major events occurring during a working shift.
• Prior to starting the machine operation, the driver must
check the function of the brakes and the steering.
• Before the engine is started, the controls must be in their
zero positions and no persons are allowed to stay within
dangerous reach of the machine.
• The driver must signal every machine start with the acoustic
or light signal, always before the engine is started.
• After issuing the warning alarm, the driver may only start
the machine when all workers have left the endangered
area. During operation of the machine it is necessary to fol-
low safety instructions and not to carry out any activity that
might jeopardise work safety. The driver must be fully en-
gaged in driving the machine.
• The driver must comply with technological procedures of
works or instructions of the worker in charge.
• When rolling the machine on the worksite, the driver must
adjust the driving speed to terrain conditions, to the type
of work performed and to weather conditions. The driver
must always watch the passage clearance to prevent colli-
sion with any obstacle.
• In case the driver finishes or interrupts the machine opera-
tion and leaves the machine, he must take safety measures
to prevent any unauthorized use of the machine and inci-
dental start. The driver must remove the key from the igni-
tion box, lock the cab and disconnect the wiring using the
disconnector.
• When the operation is completed, park the machine at a
suitable parking place (flat with sufficient bearing capacity)
to ensure stability of the machine; the machine must not
interfere with traffic roads, must not be exposed to falling
objects (rocks), and must be protected against any natural
risks of another kind (floods, landslides, etc.).
• When the machine is abandoned on traffic roads, measures
must be taken according to corresponding traffic rules. The
machine must be marked properly.
• After finishing the work with the machine, all defects, dam-
age to the machine and any repairs made must be recorded
in the log of operations. When drivers take turns, the driver
is obliged to inform the following driver about any observed
issues.

the work performed - work clothes, working shoes, helmet,
gloves and safety glasses.

accessories and equipment.
• Keep the machine clean.
• Keep the machine free of oil contaminants and inflammable
materials.
