3.10 Driving
Before putting the machine into operation, the driver's seat, mirrors and
operator controls must be adjusted so as to ensure safe working.
Always wear the seat belt.
Keep windows clean and free of ice.
Driving tracks must be designed so as to ensure smooth, safe operation, i.e.
they must be sufficiently wide, on ground which has as few slopes as possible
and sufficient carrying capacity.
Downhill tracks must be set out in such a way that machines can be safely
braked.
Before driving downhill, the appropriate gear for the terrain must be selected
and the gear lever not be moved during downhill travel (road or off-road
gear). On steep drops and uphill gradients, the load must be carried on the
uphill side, if possible, in order to increase stability.
The carrying capacity of bridges, cellar roofs, vaults, etc. must be verified
before the earth-moving machine can drive over them.
Check the clear dimensions of constructions before entering into subways,
tunnels, etc.
It is the plant operator's responsibility to ensure that equipment such as first-aid
box, warning triangle, hazard lights are kept with the machine according to the
traffic regulations valid in the user’s country and that the driver has the
appropriate license as required by the national traffic laws of the country in
question.
Outside areas covered by general traffic regulations, e. g. on factory premises,
traffic regulations should be applied in the proper manner. This should also
apply with regard to drivers’ licenses.
3.11 Working Operation
Daily before commencing work and after every change of work attachments,
a check must be carried out to ensure that the work attachment is correctly
fastened, and the quick-mount hitch is properly locked. Move the working
attachment carefully in low height. During this check nobody must be allowed
to remain in the danger zone of the earth-moving machine.
You should only swing the work equipment over occupied drivers' seats,
operator consoles and workplaces of other machines if these are protected
by canopies (FOPS).
If a cab does not have the required protection, the driver of this vehicle must
leave the operator’s stand while the work equipment is being swung
overhead.
Load the machine in such a manner, that it is not overloaded and no material
is lost while the machine is driving. Load the machine from the lowest
possible height.
At dumping points, the machine may only be operated if suitable measures
have been taken to prevent rolling or falling.
