SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
id.:
DB 460 REV. 00 02/01/2015
- To get on the vehicle, use the steps and the handholds in proximity of the driver’s seat; it is prohibited to use
the control levers and devices as handholds.
- If the vehicle starts moving when you are not on it, do not jump on to try and stop it.
- It is prohibited to get on and off the vehicle when it is moving.
- Get off the vehicle only when it has come to a complete halt and is stable.
- Do not get on and off the vehicle by jumping or holding tools in your hands.
- Always face the vehicle when getting on and off the driver’s seat or other raised parts and support yourself
by keeping both hands and one foot or both feet and one hand on the steps and the handrail.
- Do not climb onto the engine compartment lid or other parts of the vehicle.
- Before getting into the operator’s cabin, always remove mud and oil from the soles of your shoes. If you push
a pedal with mud or oil on the soles of your shoes, your foot might slip causing accidents.
- Keep the area around the driver’s seat clean.
- Do not place any object at the foot of the driver’s seat or around the pedals and do not hang anything on
the control levers. The levers might accidentally be activated causing uncontrolled vehicle movement or
activation of the working equipment and hence dangerous conditions.
- Place all objects not needed for driving in the storage compartments provided.
- Do not carry objects in your pockets that may fall into the open compartments of the vehicle.
- Always keep the driver’s seat clear of foreign objects, especially if not secured.
- Do not leave components or tools scattered around the cabin.
- Do not use mobile phones in the cabin while driving or operating the vehicle.
- Never take dangerous objects into the cabin, for example, fl ammable or explosive objects.
- DO NOT modify, repair or remove the operator protective structure. Should it be structurally damaged or
modifi ed (e.g. by welding or drilling) the protection provided by the cabin/roof would be compromised,
creating a risk which may cause death or serious injury.
- After an accident, carefully inspect the protective structure, the driver’s seat, the seatbelt and all the pillars.
- Replace all the parts that show any sign of damage. Original spare parts must be used as indicated in the
Spare Parts Catalogue and can be ordered from FIORI.
- The ROPS structure serves to protect the operator and cushion the impact in the event that the vehicle
overturns.
- The ROPS structure is an integral part of the cabin. Do not operate the vehicle without this protection
system.
- The ROPS structure is in compliance with the safety regulations for the vehicle type. If it is damaged, repaired
or modifi ed without authorisation, its deformability may change. In this case, it will no longer be able to
correctly perform its protective function and must be replaced.
- If the structure has been involved in an accident, do not use the vehicle until the structure has been replaced
or inspected by qualifi ed personnel.
- The ROPS structure guarantees protection if the seatbelt is properly fastened. For this reason, always keep
the seatbelt fastened while the vehicle is moving.
