SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

GENERAL NOTES

 

Read  the  manual  carefully  before  starting,  operat- 
ing, maintaining, fuelling or servicing the machine. 

Carefully read the explanation to each and all safety 
signs  in  the  special  section  of  this  manual  before 
starting, operating, maintaining, fuelling or servicing 
the machine. 

Machine-mounted  safety  plates  are  colour  coded 
yellow with black borders when they refer to points 
where special WARNING must be paid and failure 
to observe them may cause a serious DANGER to 
the integrity of machine operators. 

They are white with red borders and black lettering 
when they refer to a FORBIDDEN practice. 

It  is  fundamental  that  all  machine  operators  know 
very well  the meaning of  each  safety  plate  as this 
considerably decreases operating hazards and ac- 
cidents. 

Do not allow unauthorised personnel to operate or 
service this machine. 

Do not wear rings, wrist watches, jewellery, loose or 
hanging  garments,  such  as  ties,  torn  clothing, 
scarves,  unbuttoned  or  unzipped  jackets  that  can 
get  caught  in  moving  parts.  Wear  certified  safety 
clothes  such  as:  hard  hat,  no-slip  footwear,  heavy 
gloves,  ear  protection,  safety  glasses,  reflector 
vests, respirators every time the job requires it. 

Ask your employer about safety regulations in force 
and protective equipment. 

Always  keep  the  operator’s  compartment,  step 
plates, grab-rails and handles clean and clear of for- 
eign objects, oil, grease, mud or snow to minimise 
the danger of slipping or stumbling. Remove mud or 
grease  from  your  shoes  before  operating  the  ma- 
chine. 

Do  not  jump  on  or  off  the  machine.  Always  keep 
both hands and one foot, or both feet and one hand 
in contact with steps and/or grab rails. 

Do not use controls or hoses as hand holds. Hoses 
and controls are movable parts and do not provide 
solid support. Besides, controls may be inadvertent- 
ly moved  and cause unexpected movement of the 
machine or its attachments. 

Never operate the machine or its attachments from 
any  position  other  than  sitting  in  the  driver’s  seat. 
Keep head, body, limbs, hands and feet inside the 
operator’s compartment at all times to reduce expo- 
sure to external hazards. 

Be  careful  of  possible  slippery  conditions  of  the 
steps and hand rails as well as of the ground around 
the  machine.  Wear  protective  boots  or  shoes  with 
the soles made of highly no-slip rubber. 

Do not leave the machine until it has come to a com- 
plete stop. 

Always  check  height,  width  and  weight  limitations 
which may be encountered in the working site and 
ensure the machine does not exceed them. 

Assess exact paths of gas ducts, water mains, tele- 
phone  lines,  sewers,  overhead  and  underground 
electric lines and all other possible obstacles. 

Such paths should be opportunely defined by com- 
petent  Authorities.  If  necessary,  require  that  the 
service is interrupted or said installations are moved 
prior to starting the work. 

You  must  know  the  working  capacity  of  the  ma- 
chine. 

Define the rear upper structure swing area and pro- 
vide for opportune barriers to prevent access into it. 

Never exceed machine lifting capacity. 

Remain within the limits shown in the loading capac- 
ity chart located on the machine.

 

START UP

 

Never start up or set in motion a failed machine. Be- 
fore getting on, walk around the machine to inspect 
it. Before operating the machine, make sure that any 
possible dangerous condition has been properly re- 
moved. 

Before starting machine, check that steering and at- 
tachment controls are in the neutral position and the 
safety lever is in the LOCK position. 

Immediately report any malfunction of parts or sys- 
tems  to  the  maintenance  managers  for  proper ac- 
tion. 

Prior to starting the engine, check,  adjust and lock 
the  driver’s  seat  for  maximum  riding  comfort  and 
control accessibility.
