SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
E265C-E305C
SAFETY LOADS MOVING
The excavator is a machine designed specifically to
perform digging/loading works, thus it must not be
used to handle suspended loads. In the event, un-
der exceptional conditions, it becomes necessary to
handle materials, the following indications must be
strictly implemented:
- The machine must be equipped compulsorily
with the appropriate variant provided upon
request. Also, totally comply with the safety
precautions for the operation of the excavator as
a lifting equipment.
- Secure the loads to be raised using cables or
chains fastened with appropriate hooking
mechanisms.
- Never hook cables or chains to the bucket teeth.
- Nobody should be allowed to remain under the
raised load or within the excavator operating
range for any reason whatever.
- Never exceed specified loading capacity.
Incorrect fastening of slings or chains may
cause boom/arm failure or failure of the lifting
means with consequent bodily injuries and
even death.
- Always ensure that slings and chains used for
lifting are adequate to the load and in good
condition.
- All loading capacities are referred to the
machine on a level surface and should be
disregarded when working on a slope.
- In any case, comply with the current national or
local regulations on this matter.
AVOID EXCESSIVE DIGGING EFFORTS
Operate the machine complying with the load limits
in accordance with the "table of lifting loads" located
inside the cab.
- Do not exceed the prescribed load limits.
- Do not use the strength of the attachment to
travel or move the machine.
- Do not try digging exploiting the mass of the
machine.
