Risk of burns
Some components can become extremely hot during operation (lines, hoses, valves, valve operating
levers, hose connections, hydraulic cylinders, oil motors, pumps etc.).
Contact with these parts can cause burns!
Risk of scalding if oil escapes!
In order to avoid burns, the exhaust system of the vehicle must be covered in the operating area, or a
safe distance must be maintained.
No smoking!
No naked flame!
Noise emission
Warning!
Permanent low or short high noise emission levels endanger the
health of operators and bystanders.
Main source of noise: Vehicle motor.
Protective measures: Ear protection.
Operators have to comply with the relevant national noise control standards and laws.
Measuring values
Near operating stands of loading cranes which are mounted to Diesel motor vehicles (also in case of
remote control operation within 1 m (3,3 feet) from the vehicle) the sound pressure level depends on
vehicle model, status of operation (idling speed, full load) and crane installation, so the following values
can be reached:
x
At low or high idling speed of the vehicle engine 72 to 84 dB(A)
x
In crane operation 79 to 86 dB(A)
x The sound power level is between 92 and 100 dB(A).
Note!
In order to reduce noise exposure it is recommended to maintain a
low idling speed and use the remote control at a distance from the
vehicle motor greater than 1 m (3,3 feet).
