PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN WHEN WORKING
56
2.4.4 CHECKS FOR TRAVELLING IN
REVERSE
q
When operating in areas that may be hazardous or have poor
visibility, designate a person to direct the movements of the ma-
chine and traffic on the work site.
q
Make sure that no unauthorized person is within the machine
operating range or in its travel direction.
If necessary, put up appropriate fences.
q
Before moving the machine, sound the horn in order to warn
everyone close to the work area.
q
There are blind spots behind the machine, which cannot be
seen and where someone may be standing: therefore, it is nec-
essary to make sure that there is no one behind the machine
before travelling in reverse.
2.4.5 MOVING THE MACHINE
q
When moving the machine, position the bucket at about 20–30
cm from the ground; this position makes it possible to evaluate
more precisely the space required for the movements and at the
same time ensures the stability of the machine.
q
Make sure that the driver seat is directed towards the blade.
Otherwise, pay attention to the steering and advance manoeu-
vres, since they are inverted.
q
If the equipment control levers must be used during travel,
avoid moving them abruptly; sudden manoeuvres change the
attitude of the machine and make driving difficult.
q
When travelling on rough ground, keep the speed low and avoid
sudden movements of the bucket arm.
q
If possible, avoid moving on obstacles.
If the machine has to travel over an obstacle, keep the equip-
ment as close to the ground as possible and travel at low
speed.
Never move on obstacles that may incline the machine consid-
erably (over 10°).
q
If one of the rubber tracks moves on an obstacle or gets into a
hole, the machine may overturn.
In these cases, reduce the speed to minimum and be very care-
ful to the balance of the machine.
