4.7.12 - Reduce vibrations
Consider the following recommendations to reduce
the vibration exposure of the operator:
• Always use the appropriate equipment for the
job to be carried out.
• The driver's seat must be properly adjusted to
suit the operator needs. Inspect and if required
repair the suspensions and the regulation
mechanisms of the seat.
• Make sure that the vehicle is kept efficient,
perform vehicle maintenance as prescribed in
this manual.
• Steer, accelerate, brake, shift gears, move the tool
in a non-abrupt way.
• During transfers adjust the speed of the vehicle
to minimize the level of vibrations. Reduce speed
to avoid the risk of jolting. Transport the vehicle
in the event of significant distance between job
sites.
• Maintain the workplace in good condition,
remove stones and obstacles, fill depressions or
holes etc.
• To avoid back pain problems, use the vehicle only
in good health.
• Take breaks so as to reduce the time of sitting in
the same posture.
• Do not exit the cab or go out of the vehicle with a
jerk.
• Avoid to lift and move loads repeatedly.
• Further recommendations to reduce vibration
when working with passenger basket:
– Use the controls smoothly.
– Do not make any sudden movements on the
passenger basket.
– The vibrations generated by the vehicle are
not a source of risk when using the basket.

cause overturning or sliding.
Move forward and brake
