3.6 Taking the machine into service
3.6.1 Before commissioning
Use only machines which are serviced at regular intervals.
Become acquainted with the equipment, the control elements, the
working principle of the machine and the working area.
Use your personal protective outfit (hard hat, safety boots, if neces-
sary also goggles and ear defenders).
Before starting the machine check whether:
n
the machine shows any obvious faults,
n
all guards and safety elements are in place,
n
the controls are fully functional,
n
that the machine is free of oily and combustible materials,
n
all grips are free of grease, oils, fuel, dirt, snow and ice.
If the following tests reveal damages or other faults, the machine
must not be operated, until these deficiencies have been corrected.
3.6.2 Spark protection
The spark protection is optional.
In some areas of use operation of an engine without spark protec-
tion is not permitted.
Check the locally valid legislation and regulations.
3.6.3 Starting the engine
Do not use any starting aids like start pilot or ether.
The machine must not be operated with damaged, missing or non-
functional safety installations.
Before starting and moving the machine make sure that there are
no persons inside the danger zone.
Operate the machine only with the steering bow mounted and low-
ered.
Always keep an eye on the machine when the engine is running
and hold it by the steering bow.
Do not inhale exhaust fumes, because they contain toxic sub-
stances, which could cause damage to health, unconsciousness or
even death.
Avoid operation in closed or partly closed rooms, or ensure ade-
quate ventilation when working in trenches.
