Operation
Operating Safety
Electrical Power Cables
You could be electrocuted or badly burned if you get the machine or its attachments too close to electrical
power cables.
You are strongly advised to make sure that the safety arrangements on site comply with the local laws and
regulations concerning work near electric power lines.
Before you start using the machine, check with your electricity supplier if there are any buried power cables
on the site.
There is a minimum clearance required for working beneath overhead power cables. You must obtain details
from your local electricity supplier.
Working Platform
Using the machine as a working platform is hazardous. You can fall off and be killed or injured. Never use the
machine as a working platform unless with approved man-basket or man-crate (if applicable).
Machine Safety
Stop work at once if a fault develops. Abnormal sounds and smells can be signs of trouble. Examine and repair
before resuming work.
Travelling at High Speeds
Travelling at high speeds can cause accidents. Always travel at a safe speed to suit working conditions.
Hillsides
Operating the machine on hillsides can be dangerous if the correct precautions are not taken. Ground conditions
can be changed by rain, snow, ice etc. Check the site carefully. When applicable, keep all attachments low
to the ground.
Unstable Ground Conditions
Do not operate the machine on soft and unstable ground conditions. Operating the machine on soft and unstable
ground conditions can cause the machine to tilt under its own weight, resulting in the machine tipping over or
sinking into the ground.
Visibility
Accidents can be caused by working in poor visibility. Use your lights to improve visibility. Keep the road lights,
windows, mirrors and cameras clean (when fitted).
Do not operate the machine if you cannot see clearly.
Modification of the machine's configuration by the user (e.g. the fitting of large and non-approved attachments)
may result in a restriction of the machine visibility.
Hands and Feet
Keep your hands and feet inside the machine.
When using the machine, keep your hands and feet clear of moving parts. Keep your hands and feet within
the operator compartment while the vehicle is in motion.
Controls
You or others can be killed or seriously injured if you operate the control levers from outside the machine.
Operate the control levers only when you are correctly seated.
Passengers
Passengers in or on the machine can cause accidents. Do not carry passengers or lift persons.
Fires
If your machine is equipped with a fire extinguisher, make sure it is checked regularly. Keep it in the correct
machine location until you need to use it.
Do not use water to put out a machine fire, you could spread an oil fire or get a shock from an electrical fire.
Use carbon dioxide, dry chemical or ABC type extinguishers. Contact your nearest fire department as quickly
as possible.
