3.7 Danger zone
Nobody is allowed to remain in the machine’s danger zone.
The danger zone encompasses the area around the machine in which persons
may be injured by movements of the machine during operation, its work
implements and attachments, or by swinging out or falling loads.
The machine operator is only to work the machine if nobody is in the danger
zone.
The machine operator must give a warning signal to persons who may be in
danger.
Stop work with the machine, if persons remain in the danger zone despite the
warning.
To ensure no danger of crushing, a sufficient safety distance (min. 0.5 m)
must be kept from solid objects, e. g. buildings, excavation slopes,
scaffolding, other crawler excavators, etc.
If the safety distance cannot be kept, fence off the area between solid
construction elements and the working range of the machine.
If conditions are such that the machine operator’s view of the driving and
working zone is restricted, he must be guided or the driving and working zone
must be secured by means of a solid barricade.
3.8 Transporting persons
The machine must not be used to transport persons.
3.9 Stability
The machine must be used, driven and operated in such a manner that its
stability against overturning is ensured at all times.
Match the travel speed to the local conditions.
Do not exceed the permissible load for the machine.
Keep the machine away from the edges of quarries, pits, mounds and slopes,
to ensure there is no risk of falling. If this is not possible, the machine must
be secured to prevent rolling or slipping.
3.9.1 Stability on sloping ground
There is danger of overturning on sloped base.
There is particular danger when working (digging and lifting) on soft bases.
An increased degree of caution is required on slopes over 10° (17.6%).
The tilt angle increases when driving over obstacles one-sided.
