In conditions of poor visibility and after dark al-
ways switch on the lighting system.
Persons accompanying the driver must be seated
on the passenger seats provided for this purpose.
When crossing underpasses, bridges and tunnels
or when passing under overhead lines always
make sure that there is is sufficient clearance.
Always keep at a distance from the edges of
building pits and slopes.
Avoid any operation that might be a risk to ma-
chine stability.
Never travel across slopes; always keep the
working equipment and the load close to the
ground, especially when travelling downhill.
On sloping terrain always adapt your travelling
speed to the prevailing ground conditions. Never
change to a lower gear on a slope but always
before reaching it.
Before leaving the driver's seat always secure the
machine against inadvertent movement and un-
authorized use.
Special work in conjunction with utili-
zation of the machine - maintenance
and repairs during operation - disposal
of parts and consumables
Observe the adjusting, maintenance and inspec-
tion activities and intervals set out in the operat-
ing instructions, including information on the re-
placement of parts and equipment. These
activities may be executed by skilled personnel
only.
Brief operating personnel before beginning spe-
cial operations and maintenance work, and ap-
point a person to supervise the activities.
In any work concerning the operation, conversion
or adjustment of the machine and its safety-ori-
ented devices or any work related to mainten-
ance, inspection and repair, always observe the
start-up and shut-down procedures set out in the
operating instructions and the information on
maintenance work.
Ensure that the maintenance area is adequately
secured.
If the machine is completely shut down for main-
tenance and repair work, it must be secured
against inadvertent starting by:
- removing the ignition key and
- attaching a warning sign.
Carry out maintenance and repair work only if the
machine is positioned on stable and level ground
and has been secured against inadvertent move-
ment and buckling.
To avoid the risk of accidents, individual parts
and large assemblies being moved for replace-
ment purposes should be carefully attached to
lifting tackle and secured. Use only suitable and
technically perfect lifting gear and suspension
systems with adequate lifting capacity. Never
work or stand under suspended loads.
The fastening of loads and the instructing of
crane operators should be entrusted to exper-
ienced persons only. The marshaller giving the
instructions must be within sight or sound of the
operator.
