Secure the machine
Secure the machine against unintentional starting and rolling
away. Use wheel chocks. The machine must stand on a level, firm
and secure surface and be supported during the work, if
necessary. Unsecured or non-supported machines can cause
accidents. Otherwise, serious or fatal injury may be caused as a
result.
No persons in the working area
Ensure that no persons are present in the slewing and working
area of the machine. Persons could be caught by the machine
within this area. This could result in fatal injury.
Remove tine supports
When carrying out adjustment work on the machine, tine supports
which hinder work on the machine must be removed. Tine
supports that are not removed can cause serious injuries.
