Safety regulations for operation of the machine
6.2 Safety regulations for operation of the machine
– 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 any-
one to enter the hazard zones while the machine is running. The appendix 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 dur-
ing operation of the machine. Obtain confirmation of receipt of this sheet from each
person by their signature.
– Generally, it is not permitted to carry any persons on the access platform, neither
when driving on the road nor when loading. An accompanying person, if required,
may only sit on the emergency seat once the diesel engine is started or while the
machine is moving. As the name suggests, it is an emergency seat, not a passen-
ger seat! If this regulation is deviated from for training purposes, then this is done
at your own risk and under the responsibility of each of the participants.
– The effectiveness of operating or adjusting components must not be impaired or
bypassed in any way. Safety installations may neither be circumvented nor bridged
or otherwise 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.
– Never step on the rollers or conveyors while the diesel engine is running.
– Staying under raised machine parts is prohibited, even if the machine is shut down.
These parts may suddenly come down and severely injure people.
– Staying in the swivelling perimeter of machine parts is prohibited.
– Only specially authorised personnel may enter the hazard areas for maintenance
or inspection work after exact agreement with the operator. Thoroughly inform
these persons of the potential risk and dangers before they enter the hazard zones.
All activities between the operator and said personnel shall be thoroughly agreed
prior to the start of such activities. All maintenance, adjusting and monitoring work
on this machine shall, to the technically possible extent, always be performed with
the machine standing totally still and the diesel engine shut down. In this case, the
operator of the machine is responsible for ensuring that unauthorised persons do
not operate the machine either inadvertently or contrary to prior agreements.
