Safety and Accident Prevention2
2.3 Preliminary remarks
Before putting the earth-moving machine into
operation, read these Operating Instructions carefully
and strictly observe the indicated references for safe
operation.
National safety regulations - e.g. the Accident
Prevention Regulations, “Earth-Moving Machinery”
(BGR 500, 2.12) and “Vehicles” (BGV D29) in the
Federal Republic of Germany - must also be complied
with when operating the earth-moving machine.
In addition to the Operating Instructions, legal
regulations governing road traffic and road safety
measures must also be observed. Such requirements
could also apply in respect of handling hazardous
goods or the wearing of personal safety gear, for
example.
Furthermore, safety laws governing work in particular
locations (tunnels, adits, quarries, pontoons,
contaminated areas, etc.) must likewise be observed.
2.4 Proper use
The earth-moving machine with standard bucket
equipment is intended solely for work which is
suitable for the function of the machine and its work
implements.
Such work involves loosening, taking up, transporting
and dumping soil, rock or other materials as well as
loading these materials on trucks, conveyor belts or
other means of transport.
The assembly of special work implements such as
clamshell grab, hydraulic rock breaker, etc. allows the
machine to perform above mentioned work.
Any usage above and beyond that specified here, e.g.
the transport of persons or the transport of loading
material and any non-compliance with the
manufacturer’s instructions is regarded as improper
use. The supplier cannot be held responsible for any
damage resulting from improper use. This risk is
borne solely by the user.
Compliance with the Operating and Maintenance
Instructions, the performance of maintenance work as
specified and adherence to replacement intervals all
form part of the concept of proper use.
