3.0 Safety 
 

This  manual  contains  basic  advice  which  should  be  observed  during  setting-up,  operation  and 
maintenance. Therefore, this operating manual must be read by the personnel concerned prior to starting 
up, using the machine and be available at all times. 
 
If safety instructions are not complied with, then this can lead to the risk of injury to yourself and others 
as well as damage to the environment or the machine. Non-compliance to the safety instructions can also 
lead to claims for damages becoming invalid. 
 

3.1 Qualification and Training 

 

Ensure that only reliable, authorized personnel work on or with the machine. Statutory minimum 
age limits must be observed. 

 

Employ only trained or instructed staff; the individual responsibilities of the personnel concerning 
operation, setting up, maintenance and repair must be clearly established. 

 

Define the machine operators’ responsibilities – also with regard to observing traffic regulations. 
The  operator  must  have  the  authority  to  refuse  any  instructions  issued  by  third  parties,  which 
contravene safety. 

 

Persons undergoing training or instruction or taking part in a general training course should not be 
allowed  to  work  on  or  with  the  machine  unless  they  are  under  the  constant  supervision  of  an 
experienced person. 

 

The use of spare parts, accessories and ancillary equipment not supplied and/or not approved by 
SUMO  could  have  detrimental  effects  to  the  construction  of  the  SUMO  machine  or  on  its 
functions  and  hence  impair  the  active  and/or  passive  driving  and/or  operational  safety  (accident 
prevention). 

 

SUMO shall not be responsible for any damage caused by the use of spare parts, accessories and 
ancillary equipment not supplied and/or approved by SUMO. 

 

Conversions  of  or  modifications  to  the  machine  may  only  be  carried  out  after  consultation  with 
SUMO.
