Safety remarks :
3.9 Driving the machine :
3.9.1 Persons in the hazard area
Each time before starting work, also after interruptions, check whether there are persons or obstacles
positioned in the hazard area, particularly when reversing.
If required, give a warning signal. Stop work immediately if persons fail to leave the hazard area despite
warning.
When the engine is running, never enter the articulation range of the machine. Danger of crushing!
3.9.2 Driving :
- In emergency situations and in case of danger, stop the machine immediately. Only resume operation
when the danger which caused the stop has been remedied.
- The machine may not be used to transport persons.
- In case of unusual noises and generation of smoke, ascertain the cause and have the problem remedied.
- The machine may only be operated from the driver's seat.
- Do not adjust the driver's seat while driving
- During driving operation, do not climb onto or off the machine.
If the machine has touched a live electrical cable :
- Do not leave the driver's seat
- Warn bystanders against approaching or touching the machine
- If possible, travel out of the danger area
- Arrange for the current to be disconnected
3.9.3 Negotiating uphill and downhill slopes :
- Do not drive up or down slopes steeper than the maximum climbing ability of the machine.
- On slopes, always drive directly upwards or downwards and proceed with caution. Before approaching,
select a lower gear.
- Damp and loose substrates substantially reduce the machine's grip on sloping surfaces and inclines.
Increased risk of accidents!
