24 ARX 23-2 T4i, ARX 26-2 T4i
2.1 Main safety precautions
• The driver must comply with technological procedures of
works or instructions of aresponsible worker.
• When rolling (traversing) the machine within the workplace,
he must adapt the driving speed to terrain conditions, the
work performed and weather conditions. He must watch
continuously the clearance to avoid collision with any ob-
struction.
• If the operator nishes or interrupts operation of the ma-
chine and leaves the machine, he must carry out safety
measures against unauthorized use of the machine and un-
desired start up. The operator must remove the key from the
ignition box, lock the cab or dashboard cover and discon-
nect the electrical installation using the disconnector.
• When the operation is completed, park the machine at
asuitable parking place (at, bearing surface) so as not to
endanger stability of the machine; the machine must not
interfere with trac roads, must not be exposed to falling
objects (rocks), and must be protected against any natural
disaster of another kind (oods, landslides, etc.).
• When parking the machine on roads, the measures accord-
ing to road trac regulations shall be taken. The machine
must be marked properly.
• After nishing the work with the machine, all of the defects,
damages to the machine and any repairs made must be re-
corded in the operation logbook. When the operators take
turns, one operator is obliged to report any identied facts
to the other operator.
• The operator must use personal protective equipment –
work clothes, work shoes, protective helmet and protective
goggles.
• He must equip the machine with accessories and equip-
ment as prescribed.
• He must keep the operator’s stand, foot rests and walkways
clean.
• Keep the machine free of oil contaminants and inammable
materials.
• If the machine could come into contact with high voltage,
the following principles must be observed:
- try to leave the hazardous zone with the machine;
- do not leave the operator’s stand;
- warn the others to keep o and not touch the machine.
2.1.3 Driver's obligations
• Before starting operation of the machine, the machine op-
erator is obliged to get familiar with instructions stated in
the documentation supplied together with the machine,
especially with safety precautions, and strictly observe
the instructions. This also applies to personnel assigned to
maintain, adjust and repair the machine. (In case you do not
understand some parts of the manuals, contact the nearest
dealer or the manufacturer.)
• He may drive the machine only if he is fully familiarized with
all functions of the machine and working and operating el-
ements and knows precisely how to operate the machine.
• The driver is obliged to follow the safety signs located on the
machine and keep them legible.
• Before starting the work, the operator must get familiar with
the workplace environment, i.e. with obstructions, slopes,
utility line system and with necessary types of workplace
protections with respect to the surroundings (noise, vibra-
tion, etc.).
• The operator while working with the machine must be fas-
tened with the safety belt.
• The safety belt and its brackets must not be damaged.
• When there is arisk to health, human life, property, failures,
during hardware accidents, or there are symptoms of such
risks during operation, the operator must stop his work and
secure the machine against undesired starting, communi-
cate this to aresponsible worker and to apossible extent
notify all the persons exposed to such hazard.
• Before starting operation of the machine, the operator is
obliged to get familiar with the records and operating de-
viations found out during the previous work shift.
• Before starting the work, the driver is obliged to inspect the
machine and accessories and to check control elements and
communication and safety equipment for functioning ac-
cording to the manual. If he nds adefect that might en-
danger the safety of work and is not able to repair it, then he
must not put the machine into operation and must report
the defect to aresponsible worker.
• If the operator nds adefect during operation, he must im-
mediately stop the machine and secure it safely against un-
desirable starting.
• During operation the operator must watch the machine run
and record any detected defects into the operation logbook.
• The operator must maintain an operation logbook which is
meant for records of machine acceptances and take-overs
carried out between operators, of defects and repairs done
during operation and keeping les of serious events during
the work shift.
• Before putting the machine into operation, he must check
the brakes and steering for functioning.
• Before the engine is put into operation, both travel controls
must be in the parking position (P); no persons are allowed
to stay within dangerous reach of the machine.
• The driver must always notify the others each time the ma-
chine is put into operation with the help of asound or light
signal before starting the engine of the machine.
• After awarning alarm, the operator may put the machine
into operation only when all workers have left the endan-
gered area. During operation of the machine it is necessary
to follow safety instructions and not to carry out any activity
that might endanger the work safety; the operator must be
fully engaged in driving the machine. He must always sit on
the seat while driving the machine.
