Translated by the original
DEFINITION OF RESIDUAL RISK:
“A hazard that cannot be totally reduced through design and protective techniques or a potential hazard
that is not obvious.”
Attention must be paid to the following residual risks that are present when the attachment is used and that
cannot be eliminated.
Operating safely and maintaining the attachment require knowing and following the
general safety rules in
the country of use
and, in any case, always obeying these instructions:
Before operating the attachment
,
the operator must carefully read this manual and have through
knowledge of the operating machine’s technical specifications and controls.
The operator should be trained to make the best use of the attachment
.
Maintenance must only be performed by qualified personnel.
Unauthorized and unqualified personnel are prohibited from operating, adjusting or repairing the
attachment.
Do not use your hands instead of the proper tools to work on the attachment.
In the case of a malfunction of the attachment or damage to its components, contact the maintenance
manager without attempting to repair it.
Never perform hasty or makeshift repairs that could compromise the good operation of the attachment. In
the case of doubt, always request service by specialized personnel.
It is forbidden to perform checks and/or replace parts during work.
All checks and maintenance require the removal of the safety protections and must only be performed
under the user’s complete responsibility. We, therefore, recommend that these operations be exclusively
performed by specialized and authorized technicians.
To avoid personal risks, only use electrical devices that are correctly connected to the grounding system
and conform to the national safety standards in the country of use.
In the case of operations or repairs to be performed in positions that are not directly reachable from the
ground, use ladders or lifting means that are secure and conform to national safety regulations.
In the case of repairs near or below the attachment
,
make sure that there are no moving parts that can
start working and that parts that are, by their nature, unstable are not positioned on, or near, the
attachment ; in any case, see to blocking them with adequate tools.
Unless expressly specified by this manual, avoid repairing or adjusting the attachment (or parts of it) during
work, in order to avoid being hooked by moving parts.
Pay the maximum attention to the table (
Table 2.6.1
) that indicates the Individual Protection Devices to be
used when working on, or near, the attachment.
Everyone but the operator is severely prohibited from pausing or working in the area of the attachment
when it is operating.
Before putting the attachment in operation, warn persons in its vicinity.
Do not remove the safety devices or protective guards.
It is absolutely prohibited for anyone to use the attachment for any purpose other than that expressly
allowed and documented. The attachment must always be used in the manner and at the times and
places required by good practice and in conformity with the current laws of every country, even if there are
no laws regulating the sector in the country of use.
