The machine has been built in accordance with state of the art tech-
nology and meets all the relevant safety requirements. Nevertheless,
its use may constitute a residual risk to life and limb of the operator
or of third parties, or cause damage to the machine and to other pro-
perty.
Some of the injuries that may be caused by improper use of the ma-
chine are listed below:
-- Danger of crushing and bumping when moving and setting up the
machine.
-- Electric contact (in some circumstances with fatal consequences)
with the electrical equipment. If the connection has not been made
correctly or electric subassemblies are damaged.
-- Risk of burns from hot machine components. This includes the en-
gine, exhaust system and chassis.
-- Risk of injury from accidental machine start-up
-- Noise pollution poses a danger for persons working continuously
in the vicinity of the machine without ear defenders.
-- Eye and skin injuries caused by escaping hydraulic fluid when
threaded unions are opened without first dumping the pressure
in the entire system. Injuries caused by sprayed material, dust par-
ticles or other chemical substances.
-- Damage to health through inhalation of dust particles or cleaning
agents, solvents or preserving agents.
-- Risk of scalding by hot hydraulic fluid or other hot operating mate-
rials escaping under pressure.
-- Injuries caused by the machine rolling away as a result of the
brake, support legs or chocks becoming released.
-- Injuries caused by opening pressurised delivery lines (e.g. after
blockages).
-- Injuries caused by tripping over cables, hoses or reinforcing steel.
-- Injuries caused by reaching into the agitator, into the water box
when the piston is running, or into the running V-belt, fan blade or
dynamo.
-- Injuries caused by jamming at the truck mixer or its parts (chute).
-- Pressure hazards.
