2 Safety and accident prevention
6 TW85
Read the operating instructions thoroughly and
follow the notes on safe operation before putting
the earth-moving machine into operation.
National safety regulations - e.g. the Accident
Prevention Regulations, “Earth-Moving Machinery”
(BGR 500 Chapter 2.12) and “Vehicles” (BGV D29)
in the Federal Republic of Germany - must also be
complied with when operating the earth-moving
machine.
In addition to the Operating Instructions, legal
regulations governing road traffic and road safety
measures must also be observed. Such duties
could also apply in respect of e.g. handling
hazardous goods or the wearing of personal safety
gear.
Furthermore, safety laws governing work in
particular locations (tunnels, adits, quarries,
pontoons, contaminated areas, etc.) must likewise
be observed.
2.2 Intended use
The earth-moving machine with standard bucket
equipment is intended solely for work which is
suitable for the function of the machine and its
work implements.
Such work involves loosening, taking up,
transporting and dumping soil, rock or other
materials as well as loading these materials on
trucks, conveyor belts or other means of transport.
The assembly of special work attachments such as
clamshell grab, hydraulic rock breaker, etc. allows
the machine to perform the corresponding
applications.
Any usage above and beyond that specified here,
e.g. the transport of persons or the transport of
loading material and any non-compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions is regarded as
improper use. The supplier cannot be held
responsible for any damage resulting from
improper use. This risk is borne solely by the user.
Strict compliance with the operating and
maintenance instructions and the performance of
maintenance work, as well as adherence to the
maintenance intervals is also part of intended use.
