4. Safety
Regulations
The IRC-system makes it possible to control the loader via radio signals, and
therefore there are certain safety regulations that have to be respected:
•
Only personnel, who have been instructed in operating the equipment, must
work with a remote controlled loader.
•
The loader operator must read the instruction manuals delivered together
with the loader before starting up loader operation, and follow the instructions
during loader operation.
•
When the remote control box is not being used, disconnect it, and pull out
the key from the key switch.
•
For safety reasons, keep the remote control box inside the driver’s cab when
not in use.
•
Before carrying out mounting, maintenance or repair work, turn off the power
supply to the system
•
Do not change or remove anything from the safety devices.
•
When cleaning the loader, avoid spraying on water and never use high-
pressure rinsing for cleaning the electronic components.
Before loader operation, the loader operator must check as follows:
•
that the remote control box belongs to the loader that is to be operated
•
whether there are any cracks on or damage to the IRC-system
•
that the operating symbols on the remote control box are intact
•
that the loader is stopped when pushing the stop button
•
that the remote control system functions correctly
•
that no other person stays on or near the loader
•
that the parking brake of the vehicle has been applied before starting the
engine by means of the remote control box.
During loader operation the operator must:
•
stand in a suitable distance from the hook and the load, have a good
visibility, and see to it that no unauthorised persons enter into the working
area.
•
be aware that it is not permitted to move the load over himself or anybody
else
•
be ready to let go of the control levers and push the stop button, if he looses
control over the loader movements.
