2 Safety and accident prevention
14 TW85
2.19 Monitoring and inspections
The machine must be submitted to a general
inspection according to the existing UVV-
regulations (Accident Prevention Regulations).
This inspection must be carried out by an expert
(e.g. machine engineer or machine foreman):
•
before the machine is put into operation for the
first time and before the machine is again put
into operation after essential modifications have
been made
•
at least once a year
•
in the meantime, according to operating
conditions and local environments
The results of this inspection have to be recorded
in writing and this record kept until the next
inspection takes place.
Prior to every work shift, the machine operator
must check the earth-moving machine according to
the inspection and maintenance plan.
Hydraulic hoses must be replaced as soon as the
following damage is recognized:
•
Damage to the outer layer which reaches the
intermediate layer,
•
Embrittled patches on the outer layer,
•
Deformations when under pressure or without
pressure which differ from the original shape of
the installed hose,
•
Leaks,
•
Damage or deformations to hose fittings or to
the connection between the fitting and the hose.
The coolant level may only be checked after the
engine has cooled down; the cap must be turned
carefully in order to let off excess pressure.
Prior to operations, the machine operator must
check the function of the safety devices.
The machine operator must advise the supervisor
immediately - and his replacement, if there is a
change of operator - with regard to any
shortcomings.
In the event of shortcomings which jeopardize the
operating safety of the earth-moving machine, it is
not to be used until these have been eliminated.
2.20 Fire prevention
•
Switch off the engine when filling the fuel tank
and take special care as long as the engine is
hot.
•
Never smoke or handle open flames whilst
refueling the tank of the machine.
The fire extinguisher must be kept in the cabin.
The fire extinguisher symbol must be
attached.
2.21 Emergency exit
The windshield acts as an emergency exit. If a
front guard is fitted or this exit can no longer be
used for any other reason, an emergency hammer
must be affixed in an easily accessible place inside
the driver’s cabin.
2.22 Other dangers
Failure of hydraulic system
If the hydraulic system fails because the diesel
engine is not running, the hydraulic pump is
damaged or hydraulic oil has been lost, only the
following
emergency functions can still be
performed:
•
Manual steering (without servo assistance) and
•
Lowering work equipment (only if ignition is
switched on).
