Visibility & Mirrors
Five mirrors are provided on the cab frame to give full side and
rear visibility. These should be set so that the full envelope of
the machine; over the rear receiving hopper; across to the
extension spreading hoppers & down the sides of the machine;
can be viewed, particularly any person moving around the
machine.
When correctly adjusted, using all five mirrors together, it is
possible to see a person continuously as they move around the
machine remaining close to the side and back; i.e. within
300mm
[1 ft]. However the area immediately behind the rear receiving
hopper can be partly obscured and may require the rear hopper
sides to be in the lowered position.
HAZARD WARNING
With the rear folding sides in their raised position,
the area immediately behind the machine may not be
fully visible. When reversing, either lower the folding
sides to give make this area fully visible or move the
machine one metre forward to check the reversing
area is clear before starting the reverse manoeuvre.
Always ensure when carrying out reversing
manoeuvres that the area to the rear and immediately
to the sides into which the machine is moving is clear
of any persons or obstruction. STOP IMMEDIATELY if
your visibility is restricted into this area.
Convex mirrors distort perspective -
people and
objects may be closer than they appear in the
mirrors.
IMPORTANT
The mirrors must all be present and adjusted, as
stated below before using the machine.
There are FIVE rear view mirrors fitted to the machine that must
be adjusted as follows –
Rear view inside cab gives a view over the operator’s
shoulder. Adjust so that both sides of the rear receiving
hopper are visible when lowered. The view should also
allow the inside of the raised body of the supply truck to be
seen when being towed.
