GENERAL SAFETY STANDARDS
PERSONAL SAFETY
Always use the personal protective equipment when it is required.
Pay attention to the squashing risks due to moving parts, oscillations, not correctly fastened materials
when lifting operations are carried out or when the loads are moved.
Do not wear rings, watches, jewels, unbuttoned or hanging clothes such as scarves, unbuttoned jackets
or smocks with open zips that can get entangled in the moving parts.
Never carry out cleaning, lubrication or maintenance operations when the battery is connected.
IIf you use compressed air to clean the parts, wear glasses with lateral guards. The air pressure must
not be higher than 1 bar.
SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE
Make sure that all working tools are perfectly efficient and ready to use. Keep the working surfaces
clean and free from the deposits that settle on the truck parts and cause damage.
Keep sparks, free flames and cigarettes at a distance from fuels or flammable materials such as the
gas of the batteries.
Make sure that the working area is well ventilated, illuminated, dry and clean. Remove any water pud-
dles or oil spots.
Make sure that the lifting equipment, devices or machines can bear the load.
ver use petrol, gas oil or other flammable liquids as detergents: use commercial non-toxic and non-
flammable solvents.
In case the interventions are carried out of the workshop, lay the truck flat and block it. If it is necessary
to carry out the work on slopes, block the truck and bring it in a flat area as soon as possible within a
certain safety limit.
Disconnect the batteries and label all controls in order to indicate that an intervention is in progress.
Block the truck and any equipment to be lifted.
Do not carry out any intervention on the truck when the operators are controlling it, except that they are
qualified operators and help to carry out the intervention.
During towing operations use only the prescribed attachment points and make sure that the pins and/or
bolts are tightly secured. Lift and move all heavy components by means of a lifting device of proper
carrying capacity. Use the proper eyebolts. Make sure that nobody stays near the load to be lifted.
Do not twist chains or metal ropes.
Do not use damaged or bent chains or ropes: do not use them during lifting or towing operations. While
handling them always wear safety gloves.
Do not accumulate cloths soaked with grease or oil: they represent a risk of fire. Always put them in a
closed metal container.
The oil must be collected and not be let off in the drain pipes; the industrial oils must be disposed of by
specialized companies under the protection of the law in force in every Country.
When welding operations are carried out, it is necessary to use proper accident-prevention protections:
protective glasses, helmet, overalls, shoes. The protective glasses must be worn also by the people
who do not carry out the works if they stay near a welding area.
