3.4.20 Dangers associated with certain activities: Climbing up and down
Climbing up and down safely
People who behave carelessly when climbing up and down may fall off the ladder. People, who
climb onto the machine without using the designated ladders, may slip, fall and seriously injure
themselves.
Dirt as well as operating fluids and lubricants may cause you to lose your footing.
• Always keep the steps and platforms clean and in a proper condition to prevent people from
losing their footing.
• Never climb up and down while the machine is moving.
• Face the machine when climbing up and down.
• When climbing up and down, maintain a three-point contact with the steps and hand rails
(always two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand on the machine).
• When climbing up and down, never use the controls as handles. Inadvertent activation of
the controls may cause functions to be unintentionally actuated which could be hazardous.
• When climbing down, never jump off the machine.
• Climb up and down using only the steps and platforms designated in these operating
instructions, see chapter Description of machine, "Ladders".
3.4.21 Dangers associated with certain activities: Work on the machine
Work on the machine only when it has been shut down
If the machine is not shut down and safeguarded, parts may move unintentionally or the
machine may move. Thus there is a risk of serious injuries or death.
• Prior to all repair and maintenance work, setting and cleaning work on the machine, shut
down and safeguard it, refer to chapter Safety “Shutting Down and Safeguarding the
Machine”.
Maintenance and repair work
Incorrect maintenance and repair work will endanger operational safety. As a result, accidents
may occur and people may be seriously injured or killed.
• Only perform work which is described in these operating instructions. Before performing any
work, shut down and safeguard the machine, see chapter Safety, "Shutting down and
safeguarding the machine".
• All other maintenance and repair work may be performed by a qualified service centre only.
