SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION MEASURES
WARNING!
To prevent any conditions of risk, avoid accidents and injuries, minimize failures and improve the functionality and the
durability of your machine, always operate your machine correctly, obey the rules described in the following sections
of this paragraph, and take all the necessary precautions while working.
Merlo S.p.A. declines liability for any damage, accident or injury if the code of conduct described in the following sections of this
paragraph is not applied:
• SAFE USE CONDITIONS OF THE MACHINE
-
the machine is not intended for use in sectors other than the one it was designed for; any use other than the one specified
by the manufacturer shall be considered improper.
- the machine shall be used by only one operator, sitting in the driver's cab.
- the machine should only be used by qualified, competent and authorized personnel. The operator shall read and
understand all the instructions provided in this operator's manual, be sufficiently trained on the correct use of the machine,
and hold a driving licence. Should the operator have any doubts on either the use of the machine or the interpretation of the
manual, they shall contact the Manufacturer.
- to drive the machine from one spot to another, the operator shall sit correctly in the driver's seat; if this is not the case, the
system will automatically lock the hydrostatic transmission.
- never operate the machine if you feel tired or sick, or if you are under the effect of alcohol, prescription drugs or illicit drugs.
- if you need to work either under poor visibility conditions or at night, always switch on the work headlights available on your
machine. As an alternative, you can install a proper external lighting system in the area you are working in.
- any arbitrary changes made to your machine shall exempt Merlo S.p.A. from any liability for any damages or injuries to the
operator, third parties or property.
- inspect your machine very carefully every time before use.
- if you stop your machine on sloping ground, place wheel chocks (if present) under its wheels.
- avoid operating the machine on a muddy, sandy or soft ground.
- never use the controls or the pipes on the machine as hand holds; these components are mobile and cannot offer a stable
grip.
- check tire inflation pressure at regular intervals, and make sure that it corresponds to the pressure value shown on the rim,
which has been determined based on the kind of soil the machine is supposed to be operated on.
- never use your machine to transport people or animals.
- never use your machine to lift people or animals.
- always refer to the load chart of your machine, which defines the maximum load capacity depending on the extension of the
telescopic boom.
- never leave your machine unattended while the engine is still running or when loads are hanging from the telescopic boom.
- before getting off the machine and before carrying out any maintenance operations, apply the parking brake, switch off the
engine and take the engine start key out of the dashboard.
- always fasten your seat belt while driving your machine from one spot to another on a site.
• PERSONAL PROTECTION SYSTEMS
-
the personnel shall use both safety devices and personal protective
equipment during machine operation, servicing and maintenance. Machine
operators shall avoid wearing jewellery or loose clothes that may get caught
in machine parts or gears.
- if you usually work in particularly dusty or dry environments, you are
advised to inspect the filters of the cab ventilation system periodically and
to wear respiratory protection devices, such as dust masks or masks
equipped with filters.
- some personal protective equipment are shown here by way of example
only. Such devices should be used by telehandler operators while working
on and servicing their machines, as described in this chapter and in chapter
"ROUTINE MAINTENANCE":
- Head protection helmet (fig. 1)
- Safety shoes (fig. 2)
- Safety gloves (fig. 3)
- Safety overalls (fig. 4)
- Safety goggles (fig. 5)
- Safety face mask (fig. 6)
- Respiratory mask (fig. 7)
- Earmuffs (fig. 8)
-
such devices shall be made available by either the employer or the foreman, based on their risk assessment.
