Page: 79 / 390

2.1 Before working with the machine
2.1.1 Checking that the machine is ready for operation
As machine operator, it is your responsibility to check the machine for
external damage and defects before any use of the machine. You
must immediately report any changes (including changes in the work‐
ing characteristics) to the organisation or person responsible. If nec‐
essary, shut the machine down immediately and secure it.
2.1.2 Rendering the machine ready for operation
As machine operator, you are responsible for rendering the machine
ready for operation. This also includes topping up the functional flu‐
ids. Do not fill with fuel in enclosed spaces. Switch off the engine and
the heating. Wipe up spilt fuel immediately. Do not smoke or use a
naked flame when handling fuel.
Set all the control and monitoring devices to the zero position before
you change the mode of control (control block, control console or re‐
mote control).
Never put the remote control down when the machine is ready for op‐
eration. If this is unavoidable in exceptional cases, you must switch
off the remote control, disconnect it and lock it away.
Never leave the machine when the engine is running or when the en‐
gine could be started by an unauthorised person. If you need to leave
the machine, proceed as follows:
● Switch off the remote control.
● Disconnect the remote control and lock it away.
● Switch off the ignition or the main switch.
● Lock the control cabinet.
2.2 Danger due to high voltage
2.2.1 High-voltage lines
Whenever you touch a high-voltage line, there is a risk of death for all
persons either on the machine or in its vicinity or who are connected
to it (via the remote control, end hose, etc.). A spark can jump across
from a highvoltage line even if you just approach it and this will ener‐
gise the machine and the surrounding area.
