OPERATION or MAINTENANCE hazards
Before any operation, following precautions should
be taken:
• First of all, make sure that the maintenance
interventions have been carried out with care
according to the established schedule.
WARNING
Set the machine to working configuration and sway
it. Use the special inclinometer to the right of the
driving place to check that the machine is level
before operating it.
• Ensure you have enough fuel to avoid a sudden
stop of the engine, especially during a crucial
manoeuvre.
• Clean instruments, data plates, lights and the
cab windscreen thoroughly.
• Check the correct functioning of all the safety
devices installed on the machine and in the job
site.
• In case of troubles or difficulties, inform the
foreman at once. Never start working under
unsafe conditions.
• Do not carry out any repair work in a makeshift
way to start working!
During work, and especially maintenance, always
pay the greatest attention:
• Do not walk or stop under raised loads or
machine parts supported by hydraulic cylinders
or ropes only.
• Keep the machine handholds and access steps
always clean from oil, grease or dirt to prevent
falls or slips.
• When entering/leaving the cab or other raised
parts, always face the machine; never turn the
back.
• When carrying out operations at hazardous
heights (over
1.5
meters from the ground), always
use approved fall restraint or fall arrest devices.
• Do not enter/leave the machine while it is
running.
• Do not leave the driving place when the machine
is running.
• Neither stop nor carry out interventions under
or between the machine wheels when engine
is running. When maintenance in this area is
required, stop the engine.
• Do not carry out maintenance or repair works
without a sufficient lighting.
• When using the machine lights, the beam should
be oriented in order not to blind the personnel at
work.
• Before applying voltage to electric cables or
components, check their connection and proper
functioning.
• Do not carry out interventions on electric
components with voltage over
48V
.
• Do not connect wet plugs or sockets.
• Plates and hazard warning stickers shall never
be removed, hidden or become unreadable.
• Except for maintenance purposes, do not remove
safety devices, shields, protection cases, etc.
Should their removal be necessary, stop the
engine, remove them with the greatest care and
always remember to refit them before starting the
engine and using the machine again.
• Before any maintenance or repair work, stop the
engine and disconnect the batteries.
