SAFE WORKING 7
Never work under an unsupported or unpropped skip or scissors.
Always ensure that any load is evenly distributed in the skip.
Never carry loads or heap material in such a manner as to effect
forward vision.
Always take care when tipping non free running loads, be aware that
wet concrete when carried in a skip can settle and stick in the skip
when tipped thereby affecting the centre of gravity and stability.
Never use the skip in a tipped position to bulldoze heaped materials
level or backfill material into excavations.
Never tip the skip or raise the scissors to discharge materials unless
on firm level ground.
Never tip the skip unless the machine is stationary and the clutch
levers have been released.
Never exceed the rated payload, this machine is designed to carry
500kg on level ground, this should be reduced to 350kg when
operating on gradients.
Never operate on any downward gradient which exceeds 15
o
or on
any upward gradient which exceeds 20
o
Always walk behind the machine on gradients, never in front of it; do
not reverse down gradients.
Always remember that slippery or loose surface conditions can
adversely affect the safe operation of this machine.
Never attempt to turn on or cross a gradient.
Never smoke whilst filling the fuel tank, mop up any fuel spills
immediately and in any event before running the engine and allow
time for any vapours from the spilled fuel to disperse before starting
the engine.
Never run the engine in an enclosed or confined area, exhaust fumes
in enclosed areas can kill.
