Operating instructions
60 Safety rules when operating
Travelling and operating (working) on a
public road
As machine operator you are considered a road user and therefore
required to know and follow local regulations and national traffic
regulations.
It is important to bear in mind that the machine, in comparison with
the rest of the traffic, is a slow moving wide vehicle, which may
cause obstruction. Bear this in mind and pay attention to the traffic
behind you. Facilitate overtaking.
Working lights, rotating beacon, or hazard flashers must not be
used when operating on public roads, unless local regulations
have other provisions.
Road signs, traffic restricting arrangements, and other safety
devices that may be required due to traffic speed, intensity, or
other local conditions, must be used.
Rotating beacon may be used:
– when the vehicle constitutes a hindrance or danger to other
traffic
– when working on or by the side of the roadway.
