Terex MHL360 E - Safe Working with the Machine

SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION 2
MHL360 E 2.15
2.5.6 Safe working with the machine
 The values in the carrying capacity tables
must be strictly observed and must not be
exceeded.
 Before starting work, familiarize yourself
with the specific features of the site of oper-
ation, specific requirements and warning
signals. The working environment includes,
for example, obstructions in the working ar-
ea, the load bearing capacity of the ground
and requirements to close the site off to
public traffic.
 Always maintain an adequate safety dis-
tance from overhangs, edges, embank-
ments and unsafe ground.
 Be particularly attentive if visibility is poor
and soil conditions vary.
 Familiarize yourself with the location of sup-
ply lines at the site of operation and be par-
ticularly careful when working close to them.
If necessary, inform the relevant authorities.
 Keep the machine at an adequate distance
from overhead electrical lines. When work-
ing in the vicinity of overhead electrical
lines, do not move the loading equipment
close to the lines. Risk of fatal injuries! Find
out the applicable safety distances.
 In the event of electrical current jumping
from a line to the machine, proceed as fol-
lows:
- do not perform any movements with the
machine or its loading equipment,
- do not leave the cab,
- warn persons outside not to approach or
touch the machine,
- have the electricity turned off.
 Before moving the machine, always check
that accessories are positioned so they will
not cause an accident.
 Always turn on the light when visibility is
poor or it is dark.
 Do not allow any passengers on the ma-
chine.
 Always be seated with the safety belt fas-
tened while working.
 Report all operating faults and make sure
that all necessary repairs are performed
immediately.
 Personally ensure that setting the machine
in motion will not put anyone in danger.
 Before starting work, check the brake sys-
tem according to the requirements in the
operating instructions.
 Never leave the operator's seat while the
machine is in motion.
 Never leave the machine unattended with
the diesel engine running.
 The machine must be used, driven and op-
erated in such a way that it is always stable
and not at risk from overturning. Loading
equipment must only be used with known
loads, especially in grab operation.
 The maximum permissible in-
cline/transverse inclination that the machine
can traverse depends on the ground and
the attached equipment.
 Adjust the travel speed to on-site conditions.
 Avoid operational movements that could
cause the machine to tip over.
 If possible, always work facing uphill or
downhill and never sideways to the incline.
 Drive downhill only at the lowest travel
speed. Otherwise you risk losing control of
the machine.
 Drive downhill only at a low travel speed.
Otherwise you risk losing control of the ma-
chine. The diesel engine must be running at
maximum speed and the speed must be re-
duced by selecting the lower travel speed
range.
 Always select the lower travel speed range
before reaching the downward slope, never
on it.
