➤ When moving the machine using a crane: Observe regulations when using hoisting gear and load
suspension equipment:
■ Do not enter the danger zone while the machine is being lifted.
■ Never lift and move the machine over people or occupied buildings.
■ Secondary or attached loads may not:
─ cause excessive load on the machine's lifting point (lifting eye),
─ adversely affect the machine's centre of gravity so that it is slanted.
■ Only the designated lifting point should be used to attach lifting gear and under no circum‐
stances are handles, towbar or other components to be used.
■ Use only load suspension devices that are suitable for the stresses to which they will be
subjected.
■ Use only hooks and shackles that comply with local safety regulations
■ Do not attach cables, chains or ropes directly to the machine's lifting eye.
■ Never tamper with the machine's lifting eye or its fixing.
■ Avoid jerking when lifting, as this may damage components.
■ Loads must be slowly lifted and carefully set down.
■ Never allow the load to hang from the crane longer than necessary.
➤ The following are forbidden:
■ transporting by slinging beneath a helicopter,
■ dropping by parachute.
Positioning:
➤ Do not position the machine directly against a wall. A build-up of heat from the exhaust can
damage the machine.
➤ Do not operate in areas in which specific requirements regarding explosion protection are in force,
e.g., the requirements of the ATEX directive 94/9/EC "Equipment and Protective Systems for use
in Explosive Atmospheres".
➤ Ensure adequate ventilation.
➤ Ensure that required ambient conditions are maintained with regard to:
■ Ambient temperature
■ Clean inlet air with no damaging contaminants
■ Inlet air free of explosive or chemically unstable gases or vapours
■ Inlet air free of exhaust gasses from internal combustion engines
■ Inlet air free of acid/alkaline forming substances, particularly ammonia, chlorine or hydrogen
sulphide.
➤ Do not position the machine in warm cooling outlet air from other machines.
➤ Ensure accessibility so that all work on the machine can be carried out without danger or hin‐
drance.
➤ Chock the wheels to prevent unwanted movement.
➤ Do not place additional loads on the machine (e.g. excavator bucket as anti-theft measure).
Operation:
➤ Use the machine only when all safety devices, emergency stop devices and sound damping
measures are in place and fully functioning.
➤ Before starting the machine, make sure that nobody will be at risk from the starting machine.
