Schwing SP 1800, Original Operating Instructions

Page: 484 / 492

Open vent valves very carefully until hydraulic fluid starts to escape.
You should on no account open vent valves further than necessary or
go so far as to remove them.
Damaged hydraulic lines must be replaced rather than repaired. You
must replace damaged or saturated hydraulic hoses immediately. Hy‐
draulic fluid spray escaping under pressure can cause injuries and
fires.
3.8.2 Replacing hydraulic hoses
During retesting, hydraulic hoses must be checked by a subject ex‐
pert for external damage. The retest must be recorded in the check
book. The operator must have hydraulic hoses replaced if they show
signs of external damage.
3.9 Noise emissions
The place of work in normal operation is with the remote control. For
this reason, it is not possible to specify a particular place of work for
the machine operator. Take the values for the sound pressure level
and sound power level from the machine Operating Instructions.
Wear suitable personal protective equipment in the vicinity of the ma‐
chine.
As the operator, you must instruct your personnel to always wear
their personal hearing protectors. You are responsible for ensuring
that your personnel comply with this regulation.
All soundproofing equipment must be fitted and in perfect condition.
All soundproofing equipment must be closed during operation. A high
sound level can cause permanent hearing damage.
3.10 Exhaust fumes
Vehicle exhaust gases contain constituents that can be deadly or car‐
cinogenic. Operate internal combustion engines and fuel-operated
heating systems only in adequately ventilated premises. Before start‐
ing up the engine in enclosed spaces, make sure that there is ade‐
quate ventilation and direct the exhaust gases away from the place of
work.
