bytheprovider
• He must ensure that the machine is operated only under
conditions and only for purposes it is technically capable of
according to conditions specied by the manufacturer and
respective standards.
• He must ensure that the machine is used only in such away
and in such aworkplace where there is no risk of transmis-
sion of dangerous vibrations and damage to nearby facili-
ties, etc.
• He must ensure aregular inspection of operation and techni-
cal condition, and regular machine maintenance in intervals
according to the lubrication and maintenance instructions.
If the technical condition of the machine does not meet re-
quirements to such an extent that the machine endangers
safety of operation, persons and property, or damages and
impairs the environment, it must be put out of service until
the defects are removed.
• He must specify who is allowed to carry out operation, main-
tenance and repairs of the machine as well as what activities
can be carried out in such cases.
• Every person who drives the machine or performs mainte-
nance and repairs of the machine must be familiarised with
instructions stated in the operating manual of the machine.
• He must ensure that the re extinguisher is checked on
regular basis.
• He must ensure that the "Operating manual" is available at
adesignated location in the machine.
• He must ensure continuous supervision by an appointed
person during machine operation on public roads and is li-
able in particular for releasing instructions to ensure health
protection and work safety.
• He must ensure that dangerous substances (fuel, oils, cool-
ant, etc.) must be removed from places of leakage according
to their nature to avoid their adverse impact on the environ-
ment, safety of operation and human health.
2.1.1.4 Protective ROPS frame
When the ROPS protection frame is used:
• the machine frame must not be damaged (broken, bent,
etc.) in the connection point
• the protective ROPS frame itself must not show corrosion,
cracks or breaks
• the protective ROPS frame must not be loose during opera-
tion of the machine
• all bolted connections must meet requirements of the spec-
ication and must be tightened to the specied torque
• bolts must not be damaged, distorted and must not show
rust marks.
• Additional modications must not be carried out on the
protective ROPS frame without the approval of the manu-
facturer because they can result in decrease of its strength
(e.g. holes, welding, etc.).
• The machine weight must not exceed the maximum permis-
sible weight according to the protective ROPS frame.
