Make sure the machine (wheels and stabilisers)
rests on a firm ground to prevent hazardous
unstable conditions.
If the ground is not firm enough, position some
supporting planks under the stabilisers or the
wheels. These plates must grant a specific
pressure of 1.2 to 1.5 kg/cm2 (500x500mm plates
are sufficient).
• Look for the best route to the job site.
• When the machine is running, nobody can enter its
working range.
• While working, keep the working area in order.
Never leave objects scattered: they could hinder
the machine movements and represent a danger
for personnel.
• In presence of trenches, space the wheels to keep
at a safe distance from the trench edge.

Set the machine to working configuration and sway
it. Use the special inclinometer to the right of the
driving place to check that the machine is level
before operating it.
• Ensure you have enough fuel to avoid a sudden
stop of the engine, especially during a crucial
manoeuvre.
• Clean instruments, data plates, lights and the cab
windscreen thoroughly.
• Check the correct functioning of all the safety
devices installed on the machine and in the job
site.
• In case of troubles or difficulties, inform the
foreman at once. Never start working under unsafe
conditions.
• Do not carry out any repair work in a makeshift way
to start working!
During work, and especially maintenance, always pay
the greatest attention:
• Do not walk or stop under raised loads or machine
parts supported by hydraulic cylinders or ropes
only.
• Keep the machine handholds and access steps
always clean from oil, grease or dirt to prevent falls
or slips.
