– Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the machine and the operating com-
ponents. In case of need, obtain instructions from a person already having suffi-
cient experience in handling the machine.
– Before each startup, check the machine for driving and operating safety.
– Instruct all people staying in the vicinity of the machine about the hazard zones
and the applicable safety regulations for handling of the machine. Strictly prohibit
all people to enter the hazard zones while the machine is running. The appen-
dix to this operating manual contains a drawing showing the hazard zones of the
machine. In case of need, copy this sheet and possibly hand it out to all people
present during operation of the machine. Obtain confirmation of receipt of this
sheet from each person by their signature.
– Generally, neither during driving on roads nor during loading may people be carried
on the escalation platform. If this regulation is deviated from for training purposes,
then this is done at your own risk and under the responsibility of each of those par-
ticipating.
– The effectiveness of operating or setting components may in no way be impaired
or defeated. Safety installations may neither be circumvented nor bridged or other-
wise be rendered ineffective.
– When working with and on the machine, always wear tightly fitting and suitable pro-
tective clothing respectively approved personal protective equipment. Depending
on the activities, the following personal protective equipment is required: warning
vest, protective helmet, safety boots, hand protection, ear protection, face protec-
tion.
– The rollers and conveyors never be stepped on for as long as the engine is run-
ning.
– Staying under raised machine parts is prohibited, even if the machine is shut off.
These parts may suddenly come down and severely injure people.
– Staying in the swivelling perimeter of machine parts is prohibited.
– Only especially authorized people after exact agreement with the operator may
enter the hazard zones for maintenance or monitoring work. These people must
be precisely informed about possibly occurring hazards before entering the hazard
zones. All activities between the operator and these people must be exactly agreed
before beginning these activities. All maintenance, adjusting and monitoring work
on this machine must – to the extent technically possible – always be performed
with the machine standing totally still and engine shut off. In this case, the opera-
tor of the machine is responsible that the machine may not be put into operation by
unauthorized people, either inadvertently or contrary to prior agreements.
