GENERALITIES
machine to transport objects, unless proper securing
points are provided.
Do not carry riders on the machine.
Study and familiarise with escape routes alternative
to normal exit routes.
For your personal safety, do not climb on or off the
machine while it is in motion.
Make sure that bystanders are clear of the machine
operating range before starting the engine and oper-
ating the attachment. Sound the horn.
Obey all hand signals, safety indications and signs.
When backing, always look to where the machine is
to be moved. Be alert of the position of bystanders.
Should someone enter the work area, stop the ma-
chine.
Maintain a safe distance from other machines or ob-
stacles to ensure required visibility conditions.
Always give way to loaded machines.
Maintain a clear vision of the surroundings of the
travel or work area at all times.
Keep cab windows clean and repaired.
When pulling loads or towing through a cable or chain,
do not start suddenly at full throttle. Take-up slack
carefully.
Avoid kinking or twisting chains or cables.
Carefully inspect the towing items for flaws or prob-
lems before proceeding.
Do not pull through a kinked chain or cable as the
high anomalous stresses existing in this condition may
induce failures in the kinked portion.
Always wear heavy gloves when handling chains or
cables.
Chains and cables should be securely anchored us-
ing suitable hooks. Anchor points should be strong
enough to withstand the expected load.
Keep anyone clear of anchor points and cables or
chains.
Do not pull or tow unless the operator’s
compartments of the machines involved are prop-
erly protected against possible backlash in case
of cable or chain failure or detachment
.
Be alert of soft ground conditions close to newly
constructed walls. The fill material and machine
weight may cause the wall to collapse under
the machine.
In darkness, check area of operation carefully
before moving in with the machine. Use all lights
provided. Do not move into low visibility areas.
If the engine tends to slow down and stall for what-
ever reason under load or at idle, immediately report
this problem to the maintenance managers for proper
action. Do not operate the machine until this condi-
tion is corrected.
Regularly check all exhaust system components, as
exhaust fumes are toxic for the operator.
Operators must know the performance of the ma-
chine they are driving.
When working on slopes or near sudden level drops
in the terrain, pay attention not to lose adherence
and avoid loose soft ground since overturn or loss of
machine control could result.
If noise level is high and exceeds 90 dB (A) over 8
hours at the operator’s ear, wear approved ear protec-
tion in compliance with local regulations.
Do not operate the machine if you are extremely tired
or feel ill.
Be especially careful towards the end of the working
shift.
Where removable counterweights are provided, do not
operate the machine if they have been removed.
When operating the machine, keep in mind height lim-
its of overhead doors, arches, overhead cables and
lines as well as width limits of corridors, roads and
narrow passages. Also, get to know load limits of the
ground and paving type of the ramps you are to work
on.
Beware of fog, smoke or dust that obscure visibility.
Always inspect the working area to identify potential
risks such as: inclines, overhangs, trees, demolition
rubble, fires, ravines, steep slopes, rough terrain,
ditches, crowns, ridge trenches,diggings in traffic
areas, crowded parking lots, crowded service areas,
fenced zones. In such conditions, proceed with ex-
treme care.
Whenever possible, avoid crossing over obstacles
such as very rough terrain, rocks, logs, steps,
ditches, railroad tracks. When obstructions must
be crossed, do so with extreme care and at a
square angle, if possible. Slow down. Ease up to
the break-over point, pass the balance point slowly
and ease down the other side also using the at-
tachment, if necessary.
To overcome deep trenches or sinking ground,
place the machine perpendicular to the obsta-
cle, drastically reduce ground speed and start
crossing using also the attachment if necessary,
only after assessing that ground conditions al-
low the traverse safely and without risks.
The gradient you may attempt to overcome is limited
by factors such as ground conditions, load being han-
dled, machine type and speed, and visibility.
There is no substitute for good judgement and experi-
ence when working on slopes.
Avoid operating the attachment too close to an over-
hang or high wall, either above or below the machine.
Beware of caving edges, falling objects and land-
slides. Remember that such hazards are likely to be
concealed by bushes, undergrowth and such.
Avoid faggots, bushes, logs and rocks. Never drive
over them, nor over any other surface irregularities
that discontinue adherence or traction with the ground,
especially near slopes or drop-offs.
Be alert to avoid changes in adherence conditions
that could cause loss of control.
Work with extreme
care on ice or frozen ground and on stepped slopes
or near drop-offs.
The word “bulldozing” generally refers to work in
virgin rough terrain, characterised by the presence
of all the perils and risks listed above. We empha-
sise the danger represented in these conditions by
large tree limbs (possibly falling on the machine)
