2 SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION
2.16 MHL360 E
When loading a truck, insist that the truck
driver leaves the drivers seat, even if pro-
tection from falling rocks is available.
For crane operation, always use the protec-
tive equipment designed for this purpose.
On terrain where visibility is poor and when-
ever necessary, have a guide help you.
Have only one person assigned to give you
signals.
Only experienced persons must be as-
signed the task of attaching loads and act-
ing as banksmen to guide the machine
operator. Banksmen must remain within the
operator's range of vision or stay in voice
contact.
Depending on the combination of equip-
ment, there may be a risk of collision be-
tween the grab and the cab, the grab and
the cab guard or the grab and the lift cylin-
ders. When the grab moves into this area,
the greatest possible care must be taken to
avoid damage.
2.5.7 Parking the machine safely
If at all possible, the machine should be
parked on an even and solid surface. If it
has to be parked on an incline, chocks
should be used to ensure that the machine
cannot roll away.
Lower the loading equipment and anchor
the work attachment a little in the ground.
h Chapter 5.18 Parking the loading ma-
chine
Move the operating levers to the neutral
position and apply the travel and swing
brake.
Turn off the diesel engine as described in
the operating instructions and fold up the
left armrest before leaving the operators
seat.
Lock the machine, remove all keys and se-
cure the machine against unauthorized use.
2.5.8 Transporting the machine safely
Use only suitable transport and lifting
equipment with sufficient carrying capacity.
Park the machine on flat ground and use
chocks to secure the wheels.
The gradient of the ramp for driving onto the
flat bed trailer must not exceed 30°. Wood-
en planks must be placed on ramps to pre-
vent slipping.
Clean the undercarriage. The undercarriage
must be swept clean. Before driving onto
the ramp, any snow, ice and sludge must be
cleaned off the wheels.
Remove the chocks from the wheels.
Line the machine up exactly with the loading
ramp.
Have a banksman give the machine opera-
tor the necessary signs.
Swing in the loading equipment and drive
onto the ramp. Always keep the loading
equipment just above the loading surface.
Drive onto the ramp very carefully and then
onto the transport vehicle.
Once the machine has been loaded onto
the flat bed trailer, the uppercarriage must
be secured against the undercarriage to
prevent the uppercarriage from turning
(swing brake engaged).
It is prohibited to turn the uppercarriage
whilst the machine is on the transport
vehicle.
Secure the machine and other individual
parts against slipping with chains, in com-
pliance with national requirements for load-
ing and transport.
Before leaving the machine, relieve all pres-
sure lines of pressure (as described in the
operating instructions), remove the ignition
key and fold up the left armrest.
Close all cab and paneling doors.
Ensure no-one is on the machine during
transport.
