Danger zone awareness
• The danger zone is the area in which persons are in danger due to the
movements of the machine, work equipment, additional equipment, or
material.
• The danger zone also includes the area affected by falling material,
equipment or construction debris. The danger zone must be extended
by 0.5 m (20 inches) in the immediate vicinity of buildings, scaffolds, or
other elements of construction.
• Seal off the danger zone if it is not possible to keep a safe distance.
Stop work immediately if persons do not leave the danger zone in spite
of warnings!
Operating the machine
• Never operate the machine if you are standing on the ground.
• Operate the machine ONLY when you are seated and you have
fastened your seat belt. Stop the engine before releasing the seat belt.
• During operation on slopes, travel or work uphill or downhill. If traveling
across a slope cannot be avoided, bear in mind the tilting limit of the
machine. Always keep the attachments/work equipment close to the
ground. This also applies to traveling downhill. When traveling or
working across a slope, the load must be on the uphill side of the
machine.
• On sloping terrain, adapt your travel speed to the prevailing ground
conditions.
• Never get on or off during machine operation or travel, and do not jump
off the machine.
• The travel control levers require practice before an operator becomes
familiar with the control response. Therefore, adjust the travel speed to
your abilities and the surroundings.
• When traveling across a slope with the telescopic undercarriage
extended, position the boom facing down the slope, and the bucket
about 10–20 cm (4–8’’) above the ground. This will help to minimize
the possibility of personal injuries and equipment damage caused by a
hydraulic hose/connector failure in the telescopic undercarriage
actuation system. The weight of the machine will cause the undercar-
riage to retract to the narrow configuration if hydraulic system pressure
decreases due to lost fluid.
• Install a front guard when working in areas with a risk of objects falling
from the front (e.g. demolition work).
• On sloping terrain always adapt your travel speed to the prevailing
ground conditions! Never change to lower gear on a slope but always
before reaching it!
Carrying passengers
• Do not transport people on the machine or in the attachment.
• Never install a man basket or a working platform to the machine.
Mechanical integrity
• Take the necessary precautions to make sure the machine is used
only when in a safe and serviceable state.
• Operate the machine ONLY if all protective and safety-oriented
devices (ROPS, removable safety devices, soundproofing elements,
mufflers, etc.) are in place and fully functional.
