HAZARDS RELATED TO VIBRATION EXPOSURE

The Whole Body Vibration level will depend on a lot of parameters, some of them machine related,

others terrain related andmany driver related.

The properties of the track or field surface and the driving speed will be the predominant parameters.

Machine vibrations cause discomfort to the operator and in some cases his health and safety may be at

risk.

Make sure the machine is in good condition and that the service interval work has been carried out

correctly.

Check the tyre pressure, the steering and the brake system.

Check that the operator's seat and adjustment controls are in good condition and then adjust the seat to

suit the operator's size and weight.

Operate all controls consistently so the machine works smoothly and modify your driving to suit working

conditions.

During travel, adjust your speed and slow down if necessary.
