4. Safety devices
Safety devices and protective equipment of moving machine components
must be opened, removed, or disabled only with the rig’s engine stopped and
secured against inadvertent or unauthorised start-up.
Safety devices are e.p. ESS-system (System KLEMM), engine cover doors,
protective gratings, coatings.
All safety devices and protective equipment must be reinstalled after comple-
tion of maintenance service and repairs.
5. Transport of persons
The transport of persons on the drill rig is strictly forbidden!!
6. Step on the drill rig
While operation the drill rig is forbidden to step on the machine. Before step-
ping on the machine the engine of the drill rig must be stopped and secured
against inadvertent or unauthorised start-up.
7. Stability
The stability (according to DIN EN 791 “Drill rigs - safety”) of the crawler drill
rig must always be assured.
Stability may be impaired by:
Excessive load, unsecure ground, jerky acceleration and stopping of tramming
and slewing movements, slopes.
The operator is responsible for the rig’s stability, and must, if necessary, modify
procedures to allow for special site conditions.
8. Truck loading process
In order to avoid chutes of the drill rig in the case of the loading process onto
the truck, ramps must be coated with skid- proof materials (e.g. wood slats or
rubber mats).
9. Securing against fall
To forestall danger of falling and crashing, the drill rig must at all times keep
a safe distance from ledges, pits and slopes.
It is the contractor’s responsibility to assess the ground’s bearing capacity, and
assert a safety distance for the rig.
Be sure of the bearing capacity of bridges, floors, and structures prior to
moving the basic rig on to them.
10. Alignment of the drill mast
If the drill rig is equipped with a telescopic drill mast type 164 / 2370mm long,
a cat head with rope winch, a hydr. drifter or a rotary drill head and a clamping
and breaking device, the rig should be preferably operated with driven out front
and rear support. It is to be paid absolutely attention, that the drill mast is prop-
ped with the front console on the soil during drilling operations.
