Safety 2
Personal safety measures
• Avoid any operational mode that might be prejudicial to safety.
• Wear protective clothing and equipment (for example a hard hat,
protective gloves, safety boots).
• Tie back long hair and remove all jewelry.
• If maintenance on a running drive cannot be avoided:
- Only work in groups of two.
- Both persons must be authorized and trained for the operation of the
machine.
- One person must be seated on the operator seat and stay in contact
with the second person.
- Keep a safe distance from rotating parts (for example from fan
blades, belts).
- Keep a safe distance from hot parts.
- Only perform maintenance in well-ventilated areas.
• Safely lock/support vehicle components before starting work.
Preparatory measures
• Attach a warning label to the control elements
(for example “Machine being serviced, do not turn on”).
• Before performing assembly work on the vehicle, support the areas to
be serviced and use suitable lifting and supporting equipment for the
replacement of parts over 9 kg (20 lbs.).
• Perform maintenance only if:
- the machine is positioned on firm and level ground.
- the machine is secured to prevent it from rolling away
(for example with the parking brake, wheel chocks), and
if all attachments/the work equipment is lowered to the ground.
- the machine is turned off.
- the ignition key has been removed.
- the pressure in the operating hydraulics has been released.
• If maintenance has to be performed under a raised machine/
attachment, support the machine/attachment
(for example, with a lift platform, trestles) ensuring safety and stability.
• Hydraulic cylinders or jacks alone do not sufficiently secure a raised
vehicle/attachment.
• Do not work on parts that are energized. Before starting work establish
that the machine is de-energized, check it and ensure it is maintained
for the entire time work is being performed.
