Safety rules
When carrying out maintenance work, it is imperative that you observe the ap-
plicable accident prevention regulations.
The following instructions are general safety rules for maintenance personnel:
•
Familiarize yourself with the truck crane and its operation.
Read the operating instructions carefully and request guidance from
crane operator.
•
Do not carry out maintenance work unless you are authorized to do so.
•
Observe all safety and warning signs on the truck crane.
•
Observe all safety instructions contained in this maintenance manual.
•
Familiarize yourself with the conditions under which the superstructure
may be slewed and the boom may be extended into horizontal position.
•
Do not carry out maintenance work unless the truck crane is standing on
flat, stable ground and is prevented from rolling.
•
Keep all handles, steps, landings and ladders free of dirt, grease, snow
and ice.
•
Use the proper access aids and working platforms when carrying out
overhead work. Wear a harness when carrying out maintenance work
high overhead.
•
Walk only on those machine parts which are equipped with appropriate
steps and railings and therefore guarantee safety. During rigging and
maintenance work on machine sections above body height which have no
apparatus for accessing, always use the supplied extension ladder (e.g.
when lubricating telescopic slide faces).
•
Perform maintenance work only after the truck crane has been shut down.
Always ensure that the truck crane is protected from unauthorized opera-
tion before beginning maintenance work. Remove the key and put up
warning signs.
