to the site management immediately.
If possible leave the machine in position.
Only take necessary action so as to reduce the
effect of damage, especially personal injuries.
Avoid action which may make an investigation
more difficult.

management.
Operator safety
The machine must be operational, that is faults
which can cause accidents must be rectified.
Suitable clothing for safe handling and a hard hat
should be worn.
Mobile phone should not be used when operating
the machine. Follow all national regulations for
mobile phone use during operation!
Always sit in the operator seat when starting the
engine/machine.
Keep your hands away from areas where there is
a risk of crushing, for example covers, door and
window.
Always use the seat belt.
Check that the seat belt is not damaged or worn.
Use steps and handholds when entering or
leaving the machine. Use the three-point grip, that
is two hands and one foot or two feet and one
hand. Always face the machine - do not jump!
The door must be closed.
Check that the attachment is properly attached
and locked.
The vibration (shaking) which arises when
operating may be harmful to the operator. Reduce
this by:
- adjusting the seat and tightening the seat belt.
- picking the smoothest operating surface for the
machine (levelling the surface when
necessary).
- adapting your speed.
In case of travelling on uneven ground, do not let
the machine lean more than 10° to one side.
The cab has two emergency exits, the door and
the rear window.
Only walk and step on surfaces which are
provided with anti-slip protection.
