Safety regulations for operation of the machine
102 / 564
6.1 First startup
For safety reasons, check all oil levels, the coolant level, the current fuel and AdBlue
level (RT6c only). Otherwise, all work and measures are required for first startup as
they must be performed for daily startup.
All bolted connections must be checked for tightness after the first 10 operating hours
and retightened in case of need. In addition, the complete hydraulic system must be
checked for leaks. Possibly existing leaks must be repaired immediately. Further-
more, all hose clips on coolant hoses, charge air hoses and air intake hoses must be
checked for tight fit and possibly retightened.
Stow the provided accessories, such as fire extinguisher (1), wheel chocks (2), clean-
ing scraper (3), tool box in the pockets or brackets provided for them.
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
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 lifting may people be car-
ried on the escalation platform. A possibly required accompanying person may, as
soon as the engine is started or while the machine is moved, exclusively stay in the
emergency seat. As the name suggests, this is an emergency seat, no passenger
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 those participating.
– 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 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 bunker may in no case be entered for as long as the engine is running.
