OPERATION
2.2.2 Precaution measures prior to
machine start
The machine may only be started and driven
by specialist persons authorised to do so.
Danger of accidents and danger of inju-
ries!
The operator must get familiar to the work-
ing environment at the place of utilisation
prior to the start of work. The working envi-
ronment includes e.g. obstacles in the
working and traffic area, the load carrying
capacity of the underground and neces-
sary safeguarding towards public traffic.
Make yourself familiar with all devices and
operating elements of the machine and the
function of these. It is too late to do this
during work.
Ensure that nobody is in front of, under, or
behind the machine. Do not allow anybody
to stay in the danger zone of the machine.
Ensure sufficient sight, adjust necessary
mirrors correctly.
Keep operation and safety signs clean. Il-
legible or lost signs must be replaced im-
mediately.
After maintenance and repair work requir-
ing a removal of the driver's cabin/ROPS
anti-rollover device, the driver's cabin/
ROPS anti-rollover device must be
screwed again securely to the machine
frame. This is the only way to ensure the
roll-over protection.
After maintenance work, check that all
tools have been removed from the ma-
chine and that all protection devices have
been re-attached and are in protection po-
sition.
The diesel engine may only be started
from the driver's seat. The engine must not
be started by short-circuiting the electric
contacts at the starter.
