Safety Information
• Keep the base plate of the skip in a clean condition so that the material is easily
dumped out of the skip. Load only material that can be easily dumped out.
• Never drive too close to the edges of unsecured pits, precipices, etc. The pressure of
the wheels on the ground can cause the edge to give way.
• Never dump material into trenches where people are working. If the driver cannot see
into the trench, he or she must be guided by someone who can see into the trench.
• Always make sure the brakes are in perfect condition.
Carrying passengers • Apart from the driver, do not allow anyone to ride on the machine.
• Never lift, lower, or carry persons in the work equipment or attachments.
• Never install a man basket or a working platform to the machine.
Mechanical integrity • Take the necessary precautions to make sure the machine is used only when in a safe
and reliable state.
• Operate the machine ONLY if all protective and safety-oriented devices (ROPS,
removable safety devices, soundproofing elements, exhausters, etc.) are in place and
fully functional.
• Check the machine at least once a day/per work shift for visible damage and defects.
Report any changes, including changes in the machine’s working behavior, to your
supervisor immediately!
• If the machine is behaving unpredictably, stop the machine immediately, lock it, and
report the malfunction to the competent authority/person. Safety-relevant damage or
malfunctions of the machine must be rectified immediately.
Driving on public roads • When driving on public roads, ways and places, observe all applicable traffic regula-
tions. If necessary, make sure beforehand that the machine is in compliance with these
regulations.
• When crossing underpasses, gates, bridges and tunnels, or when passing under
overhead lines, make sure the clearance height and width are sufficient.
2.7 Trailering and Transport
Trailers • Even though the dumper is equipped with towing gear, it is not a tractor and may not be
used as such in difficult terrain.
• If the dumper is used on construction sites for towing trailers, weight the skip with 25%
of the payload. However, do not exceed the dumper’s maximum payload with the
combination of towed equipment and the weight in the skip!
• Secure the towing pin of the towing gear with a split pin.
• Counterweights affect handling and the machine’s steering capability.
• Use special care when coupling trailers, and couple them with the specially required
devices only.
• Always secure trailers against unintentional movement.
• If optional equipment such as a trailer is installed, make sure that all lights and
associated indicator lamps are installed and functional.
