- Be sure to have sufficient fuel, to prevent a forced stopping of the machine, maybe during a
critical movement.
- Do not use the equipment under unsafe conditions. For instance, it is forbidden to execute
makeshift repair activities just to start working; it is forbidden to work at night with an
insufficiently illuminated working area.
When working or during the maintenance activities it is necessary to remember:
- The labels and stickers providing instructions and pointing out the dangers, must not be
removed, hidden or made illegible.
- Do not remove, except in case of maintenance, the safety devices, protective covers or
sumps. When it is necessary to remove them, stop engine, handle with care and reassemble
them properly before restarting the engine and using the equipment.
- It is forbidden to lubricate, clean and adjust the moving parts while they are running.
- During maintenance or adjustment activities on the equipment it is forbidden to use hands
for executing operations for which there are specific tools.
- Do not use tools in bad condition or inappropriately, for instance pliers rather than monkey
spanners, etc.
- Before executing interventions on hydraulic lines under pressure, disconnect their
components and make sure that the line is no longer under pressure and that it does not
contain any hot fluid.
- Check out all pipe fittings and make sure that they are well connected before raising steam to
the hydraulic lines.
- When maintenance or repairs are completed check out that no tools, wiping rags or other
materials are left inside spaces or guides with moving parts.
- While using the equipment it is forbidden to make more than one person give directions and
make signals. The eventual directions and signals relating to the load handling must be given
by a person only.
- Do not unexpectedly call an operator while he is working if not necessary; it is forbidden as
well to frighten who is working and throw objects, even if just for fun.
- Watch out those present, especially the children!
- Make always sure that no people stand within the equipment’s ray of action.
- Do not make people get on the machine.
-
When the equipment is not needed, stop the vehicle’s engine, park it on a flat ground with
first speed and parking brake on, with the machine rested on the ground and power takeoff
disengaged.
- Do not make any cleanings, lubrications, repairs or adjustments with running engine and
lifted machine.
- Never use the machine in steep slopes which may jeopardize the equipment’s stability.
SICMA declines all responsibility for a lack of compliance with these instructions.
