CHAPTER 4 - Safety
Residual Risks
Protection Equipment
4.4.9
WHIPLASH EFFECT:
Rupture or damage to the hoses or high pressure piping of the fl uid systems may cause hose snaking.
•
It is obligatory to perform periodic checks and replace anchors and piping.
•
It is forbidden to use fl uid pipes or hoses as a support for your feet and/or parts of your body.
•
All pipes and hoses must be fastened at close points to prevent the ''whiplash effect'' or protected with other guards to prevent or restrain ''jet''
spraying.
4.4.10
TRIPPING:
Disorderly placement of material in general may pose a tripping hazard and partial or total hindrance of escape routes in the event of need.
•
Assure operating, transit areas and escape routes are free from hindrances and compliant with applicable regulations.
4.4.11
CIRCUIT FAILURES:
Due to possible faults, the control, safety, power and supply circuits/components may lose some of their effectiveness with relevant lowering of the
safety level.
•
Periodic operational checks must be performed on the devices/components the machine is equipped with and all connections.
4.4.12
LOSS OF STABILITY:
•
Risk of machine overturning. This risk may occur when transporting the machine over terrain which has a side grade exceeding 8.5°. It is therefore
forbidden to use the machine on terrain or surfaces with a grade exceeding 8.5 degrees.
•
Risk of sudden reel turret rotation if the machine is not fi tted with the mechanical or hydraulic rotation system (accessory on demand). When
the machine is on sloping ground during reel turret rotation orientation, partial, sudden and uncontrolled rotation of the turret may occur if the
movement is not controlled by hand when the locking pin is removed. To perform the operation in these conditions, there must be another person
supporting and restraining partial rotation.
•
Pay special attention to the placement operation.
•
Machine toppling hazard during reel frame rotation. Should the machine be equipped with a rain boom, fi ll the PE hose with water before lifting
this accessory with the trolley-loader and/or turret rotation in order to give more stability to the machine.
4.4.13
LIGHTING:
In view of the type of machine and its use in an agricultural setting, it is not equipped with any kind of lighting system.
The machine is not equipped with a lighting system. For night-time use or in the event of insuffi cient visibility, the user must provide a lighting system
to assure the operator is able to perform manoeuvres and checks in complete safety. In the event no electricity is available, average lighting of at least
500 lux is recommended.
Should supplementary lighting be required for special and unusual maintenance operations, in view also of the extreme unlikelihood of these
operations, the user must provide safety portable lamps (powered at 24 Vdc/ac not included in the supply).
No lighting is supplied with the machine.
4.4.14
BURN/SCALDING HAZARD:
There is a potential burn hazard owing to the temperature of the engine and hydraulic parts.
This hazard may also be present on the exhaust pipe.
•
The personnel in charge of maintenance operations or accessing the internal combustion engine, the hydraulic circuit and
•
exhaust emissions should be informed.
Before accessing these areas wait for the parts to cool and wear adequate heat protective gloves, paying
the utmost attention.
In addition to complying with the maximum admissible temperatures for all other components of the complete machine's hydraulic circuit, special
attention must be paid to avoiding hot parts in areas accessible to the operator.
The hydraulic systems have been designed in order to protect personnel from surface temperatures exceeding contact tolerability either with
appropriate positions or guards, or where this should not be possible by using warning plates.
The burn hazard is also present on the compressor and delivery hoses. Use heat protective gloves and wait for the
parts to cool.
The operating personnel should use suitable PPE such as heat protective gloves, overalls, safety shoes, protective shield.
4.4.15
LIGHTNING - ELECTROCUTION HAZARD:
Because installation is outdoors and the equipment is not fi tted with protections from the effects of lightning, the user/end customer is responsible for
providing the necessary lightning protection equipment, in order to discharge any electrical discharges to the ground.
•
It is forbidden to carry out any activity on the machine in the event of adverse meteorological conditions (risk of lightning or storms).
•
Electrocution hazard. Ensure there are no power lines or substations within the raingun's operating range to avoid contact with the water jet, which
would cause electrical discharges to the ground through the machine's structure.
