6. SAFETY CONDITIONS
6.1 SAFETY DEVICES
Machine has been equipped with the following safety devices:
1. load-limiting device with endothermic engine stop in case of exceeding of the max. pre-set load
2. mechanical negative safety brake for movement stop in case of lack of hydraulic pressure
3. timing case and protections on moving parts, where technologically possible.
PROHIBITION: it is absolutely forbidden the use of the machine without protecting
timing cases or with damaged/disconnected safety devices.

condition of the discs and the efficiency of the brake itself; if necessary, replace the brake
discs before re-use the machine.

6.2 EMERGENCY STOP DEVICE
The machine is equipped with an emergency stop device (table 4, pos. 10) that directly acts on the
Diesel engine.
The power generator locking causes the intervention of the vacuum brakes and, consequently, the
complete machine stop.
ATTENTION: use the emergency stop device ONLY in danger situations for the operators'
safety.
The emergency stop device for stopping the machine while working must only be used in
emergencies.
6.3 PERIODIC OPERATIONS
Daily, before starting the work, the operator has to verify the functionality of the machine safety
devices.
ATTENTION: do not modify for any reason safety devices of the machine because the
manufacturer declines any responsibility as consequence of the non-functioning of the same.
