4.3 INSTALLATION
4.3.1
Placement
Observe the general safety requirements in § 3.4, those related to transport and use of P.P.E. in § 3.5.3.
In particular, refer to paragraph 3 (Fig. 3-1) for the positioning layout.
Find a safe and efficient position. The ground must comply with the requirements of § 2.1. Lower the outrigger feet to the
ground. Use the wedges 4 and 5 (Fig. 4-10) to lock the wheels.
The machine stability is designed so that, under the provided operating conditions, it allows its use without
risk of overturning, falling or unexpected movement.
The machine has been designed and built to rest on wheels and on outriggers.In order to avoid mechanical stresses during
normal use, without causing excessive strain for the structure, during lifting the machine must be stable.
- Once at the site, place barriers and warning signs around the work area of the machine, near traffic routes or pedestrian
passages, so as to prevent any person or mean access to the area.
- No one except the operator (responsible for the machine and its functionality) must remain near the work area of the machine.
- Bring the machine to the work position and make sure the ground is firm and flat.
- Make sure that there are no people or things in the machine's operating range.
With reference to Fig.4-10:
- Inhibit motion to the frame wheels by activating the parking brake (2)
- Stabilise the front part by turning the lever (1) to lower the wheel (3) until it touches the ground.
- Insert the locking wedges (4, 5).
- Lower the outriggers (6, 7). In case of unstable ground, insert plates so that the support feet do not sink into the ground.
If the ground is not solid enough, use distribution plates or compact timber suitable to better distribute the
outriggers’ pressure on the ground.
The pump operator is obliged to stabilise the machine in accordance with the various ground conditions.
