ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
- If supplementary equipment is installed by the client, the
user must verify if the installation causes any type of in-
terference with vehicle’s instruments.
If this is the case, the user must eliminate this interference.
It is important to pay careful attention to mobile attachments
such as radio communications (telephones) which must be
installed by specialised technicians and used with externally
mounted antennas.
In general, all additional electrical equipment installed must
comply with EMC Directive EC/2004/108 and must carry the
"CE" marking.
VIBRATIONS
Take into consideration the following precautions to reduce
the operator’s exposure to vibrations:
- Always use equipment that is appropriate for the type of
work being performed.
- The driver's seat must be properly adjusted.. In-
spect and, if necessary, repair seat suspensions and
adjustment mechanisms.
- Make sure that the vehicle is kept in good condition, follow
vehicle maintenance schedule as described in this manual.
- Steer, accelerate, brake, change gears, move attach-
ments slowly.
- While driving, adjust vehicle speed to minimise the vibra-
tion level. Reduce speed to prevent risk of jolting. Transport
the vehicle if the distance between work sites is significant.
- Keep the work site in good condition, remove rocks and
obstacles, fill-in depressions or holes, etc.
- To avoid back problems, use the vehicle only if in good
health conditions. The operator should take periodic
breaks to reduce the amount of time spent seated in
the same position. Never jump down from the cab or the
vehicle. Avoid repeatedly handling and lifting loads.
NOISE
The machine has been designed and realised to reduce the
sound emission level at the origin.
The detected acoustic power data is equal to 104 dB LwA
with reference to Outdoor Noise Directive EC/2000/14
Sources emissions in the environment of equipment and
machines working outdoors.
- ATTENTION -
THE GIVEN NOISE VALUES ARE EMISSION LEVELS
AND DO NOT NECESSARILY REPRESENT SAFE
OPERATIONAL LEVELS.
The factors determining the level of exposure to which the work
force is subjected, include the duration of exposure, the work
areas and other eventual sources of noise (different manufac-
turing and equipment, background noise, etc.); furthermore, the
admitted levels of exposure can vary from country to country.
During manufacturing, the users must use suitable Individual
Protection Devices as indicated in the dedicated paragraph.
PERFORMING MAINTENANCE WORK SAFELY
- Do not leave tools or other instruments laying around in
a disorderly fashion at the work site. Clean traces of gre-
ase, oil and other substances that could cause slipping.
Always keep the work site clean and organised in order
to guarantee safe operation of the vehicle. .
- Always deposit cloths soaked with grease and/or inflam -
mable materials in a safe container to ensure safety at
the work site.
- Only use attachments that are appropriate for the job
and ensure their proper use. The use of damaged, de-
fective, unsuitable and poor quality equipment may cau-
se serious injury.
- Do not hit the vehicle or its parts with a hammer or any
other instrument, as projected fragments could cause injury.
- If inspection or maintenance is carried out on vehicles
which are still covered with mud, oil, etc., operators risk
sliding or falling and the analysis of components is made
more difficult. Carefully clean the vehicle before repair or
maintenance work is carried out.
Before performing maintenance work on your vehicle, do
the following:
Park the vehicle on flat, even ground.
Lower and completely retract the boom.
Keep the boom raised and mount the safety rod if main-
tenance work must be carried out with the boom raised.
Run the engine at a minimum for 60 seconds to cool it down.
Switch off the key in the ignition switch.
Remove the key from the ignition.
Release any residual pressure from the hydraulic sy-
stem, by repeatedly moving the hydraulic distribution
levers with the engine switched off.
