the site, such as obstacles in the working and travelling area, the soil bearing capacity and any barriers
separating the construction site from public roads.
Check the machine at least once per working shift for obvious damage and de fects. Report any changes
(incl. changes in the machine’s working behaviour) to the competent organization/person immediately.
If necessary, stop the ma chine immediately and lock it.
In the event of malfunctions, stop the machine immediately and lock it. Have any de fects rectifi ed imme-
diately.
During start-up and shut-down procedures always watch the indicators in ac cord ance with the operating
instructions.
Before starting up or setting the machine in motion, make sure that nobody is at risk.
