- Never move onto a foot bridge, floor or freight lift, without being certain that they are suitable for the weight and size
of the machine, laden or otherwise, and without having checked that they are in sound working order.
- Be careful in the area of loading bays, trenches, scaffolding, soft ground and manholes.
- Make sure the ground is stable and firm under the wheels and/or stabilizers before lifting or telescoping the load. If
necessary, add sufficient wedging under the stabilizers.
- Make sure that the scaffolding, loading platform, pilings or ground is capable of bearing the load.
- Never stack loads on uneven ground, they may tip over.
IMPORTANT
If the load or the attachment must remain above a structure for a prolonged period of time, there is the risk that it will bear on the structure as the jib descends due to
cooling of the oil in the cylinders.
To eliminate this risk:
- Regularly check the distance between the load or the attachment and the structure and readjust this if necessary.
- If possible use the machine at an oil temperature as close as possible to ambient temperature.
- In the case of work near to overhead lines, ensure that the safety distance is sufficient between the machine's working
area and the overhead line.
IMPORTANT
You must consult your local electrical agency.
You could be electrocuted or seriously injured if you operate or park the machine too close to power cables.
In the event of high winds, do not carry out handling work that jeopardizes the stability of the machine and its load, particularly if the load catches the wind badly.
D - VISIBILITY
- The safety of the operator and people within the machine's working area, as well as that of the machine itself depend
on good operator visibility of the machine's immediate vicinity in all situations and at all times.
- This machine has been designed to allow good operator visibility (direct or indirect by means of rear-view mirrors) of the
immediate vicinity of the machine while traveling with no load and with the boom in the transport position.
- Special precautions must be taken if the size of the load restricts visibility towards the front:
• Moving in reverse,
• Site layout,
• Assisted by a person directing the operation (while standing outside the machine's area of travel), making sure to
keep this person clearly in view at all times,
• In any event, avoid reversing over long distances.
- Certain special accessories may require the machine to travel with the boom in the raised position. In such cases, visibility
on the right hand side is restricted, and special precautions must be taken:
- site layout,
- assisted by a person directing the operation (while standing outside the machine's area of travel).
- If visibility of your road is inadequate, ask someone to assist by directing the operation (while standing outside the
machine's area of travel), making sure to keep this person clearly in view at all times.
- Keep all components affecting visibility in a clean, properly adjusted state and in good working order (e.g. windshields,
windows, windshield wipers, windshield washers, driving lights and worklights, rear-view mirrors).
E - STARTING THE MACHINE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
The machine must only be started up or maneuvered when the operator is sitting in the driver’s cab with his seat belt adjusted and fastened.
- Never try to start the machine by pushing or towing it. Such an operation may cause severe damage to the transmission.
If necessary, towing requires the transmission to be put in neutral ( MAINTENANCE: OCCASIONAL OPERATION).
- If using an emergency battery for start-up, use a battery with the same characteristics and respect battery polarity when
connecting it. Connect at first the positive terminals before the negative terminals.
IMPORTANT
Failure to respect polarity between batteries can cause serious damage to the electrical circuit. The electrolyte in the battery may produce an explosive gas.
Avoid flames and generation of sparks close to the batteries. Never disconnect a battery while it is charging.
