4.5 Selecting a setup site
As a rule, the site management determines the set-up site for the ma‐
chine and prepares the site accordingly.
The responsibility for setting up the machine safely falls on the ma‐
chine operator.
The set-up site must fulfil the following criteria:
● The supporting ground must be level, even and firm.
The supporting ground must be firm enough to absorb the forces
passed on from the machine into the ground. There must be no
hollow spaces or ground unevenness under the machine.
● It must be possible to open all flaps and hoods.
● A clearance of at least 1 m must be provided around the machine.
● The set-up site must be sufficiently illuminated.
● Make sure that there is sufficient ventilation at the set-up site.
● Sharp pipe or hose bends should not be required.
● Hoses should not be laid on top of one another (risk of chafing).
● The lines should be as short as possible.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to falling items
People may be seriously injured or killed by falling items.
▶
Set up the machine outside the danger zone of elevated work‐
places.
▶
Protect workplaces at the machine with suitable protective
roofs.
Inspect the proposed site carefully and reject the set-up site if you
have any doubts in respect of safety.
4.6 Setting up the machine
The machine must be set up so that it is absolutely stable and se‐
cured against slipping.
1. Secure the machine against rolling by locking the foot brake.
