4.2 Positioning the Machine
CO Alarms Because this machine produces carbon monoxide (CO), Wacker Neuson
recommends that CO alarms be installed in all structures in close proximity to the
machine. CO alarms provide an extra measure of protection against this poison
that you cannot see or smell.
Install battery-operated CO alarms or plug-in CO alarms with battery backup,
according to the manufacturer’s instructions. CO alarms should be certified to the
requirements of the latest safety standards (UL 2034, IAS 6-96, or CSA 6.19.01).
Test the CO alarm batteries monthly.
Requirements Position the machine so that:
■
machine exhaust will not enter nearby structures.
■
the machine does not block traffic.
■
the machine is not near any combustible material or flammable vapor.
■
all of the machine’s access doors/panels may be accessed.
■
the area to be illuminated is at or below the level of the lights.
■
there is room around the machine for the outriggers to be extended.
DANGER
