3.4. RESIDUAL RISKS
The Manufacturer has provided a set of safety devices which are described and listed in the chapter “MACHINE
DESCRIPTION”.
The operators, on their part, are required to use the personal protection equipment suited to the risk being faced. In the
procedures described in this manual, we will indicate the personal protection equipment needed for each operation.
As far as possible, safety has been incorporated in the design and construction of the machine; nevertheless, certain risks
still remain against which the operators must be protected, especially during the maintenance, installation and cleaning
phases.
The final customer and/or the user customer will be responsible for:
♦ training and enhancing the awareness of the personnel assigned to machine operation.
RESIDUAL RISK DESCRIPTION
RISK OF CRUSHING
AND SEVERING OF LIMBS
Contact with the jointed parts of the machine, such as outriggers, column and boom
articulations can create the risk of crushing and severing of limbs.
KEEP AT A SAFE DISTANCE DURING THE MANOEUVRES, DO NOT TOUCH THE MACHINE
OR ITS PARTS DURING THE MOVING PHASES.
Risk due to the presence of people in the work area of the machine.
DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE IF THE WORK AREA IS NOT CLEAR OF PEOPLE OR
THINGS; PROHIBIT UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL FROM ACCESSING THE AREA; ALWAYS
KEEP AT A SAFE DISTANCE; ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT THE WORK AREA STAYS CLEAR.
RISK OF TIPPING OVER
Risk due to overload and horizontal or inclined thrusts.
DO NOT EXCEED THE ALLOWED SERVICE LOADS.
Risk due to soft ground.
CHECK THE CONSISTENCY OF THE GROUND AND THE PRESSURES APPLIED TO THE
SOIL BY THE MACHINE.
Risk due to wind gusts.
DO NOT OPERATE UNDER DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
Risk due to working on uneven or irregular soil (kerbs, for example).
CHECK THE CONDITIONS OF THE GROUND, PAY ATTENTION TO THE POSITIONING OF
THE OUTRIGGERS.
Risk due to collision against an obstacle located on the ground or in the air.
THOROUGHLY INSPECT THE WORK AREA PRIOR TO OPERATING THE MACHINE, AND
PAY THE UTMOST ATTENTION DURING THE MANOEUVRES.
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION
Risk due to impact or contact with a power line.
KEEP AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM THE POWER LINES.
THERMAL RISK
Residual risks of the thermal type are concentrated near the electric engines.
TO PREVENT THE RISK OF BURNS, IT IS THEREFORE IMPORTANT TO ABSOLUTELY
AVOID ANY DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE HOT PARTS OF THE ENGINES. IF IT IS
NECESSARY TO OPERATE NEAR THE ENGINES FOR MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS OR
REPAIRS, WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE COOLED DOWN COMPLETELY.
