Dieci L3500 - Working with the Danger of Falling Masses and Objects; Working Near Electrical Lines; Working under the Snow

SAFETY REGULATIONS 4
AXH1157-UK (ENG) L3500 L4700 F7000 [FPT S3A] 37
4.7.7 - Working with the danger of
falling masses and objects
When working in areas where there is a risk of falling,
bouncing or interference from objects capable of
hitting the operator or entering the cab:
• Always close the windows.
• Always ensure that other operators near-by are at
a safe distance and cannot be hit by bouncing or
falling objects.
• Never carry out work operations under an
overhang; this could give way and fall onto the
vehicle.
• When working from the cab:
– Mount suitable safety panels to protect the
operator.
– Always close the windows.
– Pay careful attention to crumbling walls,
landslides, falling material or objects from the
installed equipment, that may hit the cab, the
protective structure or windows, causing
damages to the vehicle and to the operator.
– Do not excessively weigh down or fill the
installed equipment or transport loads that
may come out or fall on the ground.
• When working from the passenger basket:
– Install optionals on the basket such as the roof
to provide additional protection to the
operators.
WARNING
Danger of falling objects
Use of a safety helmet is required if there is a risk
of falling objects.
4.7.8 - Working near electrical lines
Before working near overhead electrical lines, check
that the safety distance is sufficient, in compliance
with the current Standard in the country of use. In any
case, never work near electrical lines at distances
shorter than those in the table below or at the
minimum distances indicated by the Standards in
force in the country of use of the vehicle and of the
equipment.
Damp ground may increase the risk of electrocution.
Operating or parking the vehicle too close to electrical
cables leads to increased risk of being struck by
lightning or being seriously injured.
Designate someone on the ground to signal when too
close to power lines.
Do not allow anyone near the vehicle when working
in the vicinity of power lines. To prepare for any
possible emergency situation, wear rubber shoes and
gloves, cover the seat with a rubber piece of fabric
and take care not to touch the chassis with any
unprotected body parts.
DANGER
High voltage danger
Should the vehicle or the equipment installed on
it collide with an electrical cable, the user, to
avoid electrocution, must remain inside the
driver's cab until certain that the electrical power
supply has been properly disconnected.
DANGER
High voltage danger
If operating close to overhead electrical lines,
check the safety distance in the table below,
reported in the Italian Legislative Decree 81/08
Enclosure IX. The table is valid if the vehicle is
used on Italian territory. However, refer to the
Standards in force in the country of use of the
vehicle and equipment.
Un (kV) Distance
≤ 1 3 m (9.84 ft)
1 < Un ≤ 30 3.5 m (11.48 ft)
30 < Un ≤ 132 5 m (16.40 ft)
> 132 7 m (22.96 ft)
4.7.9 - Working under the snow
Snow can hide obstacles and objects, and cover holes,
dug-out areas and ditches, therefore, proceed with
caution.
WARNING
Operation of the vehicle if the quantity of snow
does not allow for clear distinction of obstacles
and possible dangers along the path, is strictly
prohibited.
• Take care when clearing snow and do not
venture off the main road; that which is hidden at
the sides of the road may cause vehicle
overturning or damage to various components.
• Surfaces covered by snow or ice are extremely
dangerous. Operate with caution, reducing
vehicle speed as much as possible and engaging
levers slowly.
