Schwing SP 1800, Original Operating Instructions

Page: 444 / 492

As the operator, you must always make sure that the Operating In‐
structions are available. The Operating Instructions and check book
must always be kept to hand at the site of use of the machine (in the
tool compartment or container provided for this purpose).
As the operator, you must have personnel working on the machine
confirm in writing their knowledge, understanding and application of
the Operating Instructions and Safety Regulations and Safety Man‐
ual. At regular intervals of at least once a year, check that personnel
are conscious of safety and the hazards involved in their work and
are taking account of the Operating Instructions.
Personnel entrusted with work on the machine must observe all safe‐
ty instructions and hazard warnings, and must be familiar with the
machine itself. You must practice all the operating procedures descri‐
bed in the Operating Instructions (extending the supports, operating
the placing boom, shifting the placing boom into the driving position,
preparing the vehicle for moving, etc.) under the supervision of a sub‐
ject expert until you are certain you can execute them safely. Ask
questions if there is something you have not understood. Begin oper‐
ating the machine only once you are fully and explicitly familiar with
the layout and significance of all the control and monitoring devices
and the method of operation of the machine.
1.6.2 Operating procedures
The operator must produce operating procedures for their personnel
in accordance with national regulations. These operating procedures
must also contain instructions (including the obligation to provide su‐
pervision and reports) concerning the observance of special opera‐
tional features, particularly in respect of work organization, working
procedures or personnel deployment. Furthermore, reference must
be made to other generally valid legal and otherwise mandatory regu‐
lations relating to accident prevention and environmental protection.
Such regulations may also deal with handling hazardous substances,
the issuing and wearing of personal protective equipment or with na‐
tional road traffic regulations. You should familiarise yourself with the
site of operations and with how to use fire extinguishers. Observe the
firealarm and fire-fighting procedures.
