2.6 Safety instructions regarding operation
Normal operation
• Avoid any operational mode that might be prejudicial to safety!
• Before beginning work, familiarize yourself with the surroundings and circumstances of
the job site. These are, for example, obstacles in the job site and travel area, the soil
bearing capacity and any necessary barriers separating the job site from public roads
• Take the necessary precautions to ensure that the machine is used only when in a safe
and reliable state!
Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-oriented devices, for example
removable safety devices, soundproofing elements and mufflers, etc., are in place and
fully functional!
• Check the machine at least once a day/per work shift for visible damage and malfunc-
tions! Report any changes (incl. changes in working behavior) to the competent organi-
zation/person immediately! If necessary, stop the Easy Lock offset bucket immediately
and lock it!
• In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and lock it! Have any
malfunctions rectified immediately!
• Start and operate the machine only from the operator seat!
• Perform start-up and shut-down procedures in accordance with the Operator’s Manual,
and observe the indicator lights!
• Before putting the machine/attachment into operation (start-up/moving), ensure that no
one is at risk by putting the machine/attachment into operation!
• Before operating the machine, and also after interrupting work, check whether all
control levers are functional!
• Before starting machine travel always check whether the supplementary equipment
has safely stowed away or attached!
• Before operating the machine on public roads, ways and places for purposes of
construction work, observe the traffic regulations in force and, if necessary, ensure
beforehand that the machine is in a condition perfectly compatible with these regula-
tions!
• Ensure good illumination of the job site in conditions of poor visibility or after dark!
• Stop machine operation if this is not possible to a reasonable degree!
• Since the machine has no acoustic warning system, stop the machine or interrupt work
immediately if a person is likely to approach the working range of the machine!
• No lifting, lowering or carrying persons!
• Installing a man basket or a working platform is prohibited!
• When crossing underpasses, bridges and tunnels, or when passing under overhead
lines always ensure that there is enough clearance!
• Always keep a safe distance from the edges of building pits and slopes!
• When working in buildings or in enclosed areas, look out for in particular:
• Height of the ceiling/clearances
• Width of entrances
• Maximum load of ceilings and floors
• Sufficient room ventilation – poisoning hazard!
• Avoid any operation that might be a risk to machine stability!
• During operation on slopes, perform machine travel or operation uphill or downhill. If
performing machine travel across a slope cannot be avoided, bear in mind the tilting
limit of the machine! Always keep the work equipment close to the ground! This also
applies to downhill machine travel! During machine travel across a slope, the load must
be on the uphill side of the machine.
• If the skip is less than half full, drive backward uphill or forward downhill.
• If the skip is more than half full, drive forward uphill or backward downhill.
• On sloping terrain always adapt the travel speed to the prevailing ground conditions!
