2.1. Safety Levels
Most accidents occur as a result of carelessness or negligence to follow given safety instructions. For us at Steelwrist
safety is very important and we will do our best to avoid risks with preventive measures. However no safety instruction
or protection measure, no matter how good they are made, is better than a prudent machine operator.
In order to classify risks we use the following safety standards and recommendations in this manual:
Danger:
•

result in serious injury or death.

used. Avoid dangerous work situations. For questions, contact your dealer or Steelwrist.

2.2. Safety regulations
Steelwrist tiltrotators can be used with a variety of tools that, correctly used, increase the excavator's productivity
significantly. Work tools, however, have to be be of the type normally used when working with excavators. No other
use may occur without Steelwrist written approval. The tiltrotator is also designed to manage a certain torque and
excavators of a certain machine weight. The tiltrotator should not be installed on an excavator above the specified
weight. However, it is possible to mount a tiltrotator on a machine with lower performance than the intended machine
weight, provided that tiltrotators own weight is taken into account. Ensure that your tiltrotator match the excavator's
performance. See:
Warning:
Never use tiltrotator or attachment to lift a person.
Warning:
Always follow safety instructions for the machine, tiltrotator and work tools.
Warning:
Do not stay near the work tools when the machine is in use and always stay clear from lifted
work tools.
Warning:
When the tool is being connected or disconnected, the safety distance is three meters from the
work tool. (For some types of hydraulically powered tools the safe distance can be even higher, consult
the user manual for the work tool.)
Warning:
Only authorized and trained personnel may use tiltrotator. It is important that the driver take the
time to learn how to manage to tiltrotator safely before using the machine.
