GENERAL SAFETY RULES
7
–
When designing and manufacturing the machine, the Manufacturer paid special at-
tention to the aspects that may endanger the safety and health of the people working
with the machine.
Besides the compliance with the laws in force, the Manufacturer applies all "code of
practice rules".
–
Carefully read the instructions that are specified in the supplied manual and the ones
that have been directly stuck on the machine; make sure that you understand them
well, especially safety instructions.
–
Dedicate a bit of time to read the instructions to prevent unpleasant accidents. When
an accident occurs, it is too late to remember that you had to behave differently.
–
Pay attention to the information signs that are directly stuck to the machine.
Information signs can have different colours and shapes to warn about dangers, ob-
ligations, prohibitions and instructions.
–
Information signs must be kept readable and the instructions specified in them must
be complied with.
–
Do not tamper with, escape, remove or bypass the safety devices that are installed
in the machine. If this requirement is not met, people’s safety and health may be se-
riously compromised.
–
The personnel that, during the entire operating life of the machine, perform any type
of intervention in the same machine must have recognised competences and skills in
the specific sector. If the aforesaid requirements are missing, damages to the health
and safety of people may occur.
SAFETY RULES ABOUT LOADING AND TRANSPORT OPERATIONS
8
–
The personnel in charge of loading, unloading and handling the machine must be
competent and skilled according to the specific sector and must be in command of
the means to be used.
–
If, during the life of the machine, it is necessary to load and unload it on a means of
transport, the personnel in charge must comply with the pieces of information that are
directly specified on the machine, on its package and in the user manual.
–
Lift and transport the machine by using suitable means having an adequate capacity.
–
Before loading the machine by using a tractor, disconnect the cardan shaft from the
tractor and the feeding systems (electric power, hydraulic system, etc.).
–
Before disconnecting the machine from the tractor, position the support in a suitable
way to make the following connection easier.
–
Before transferring the machine onto a means of transport, make sure that the ma-
chine and its components are suitably fastened, and that their loading gauge does
not exceed the maximum overall dimensions being provided for. If necessary, prear-
range suitable signs.
