Travel Operation; Working Operation - Terex TL80 Operating Instructions Manual

2.8 Travel operation

Before putting the earth-moving machine into
operation, the driver's seat, mirrors and operator
controls must be adjusted so as to ensure safe
working.
A safety belt (seat belt), if installed, must always be
fastened.
The windows must be 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
earth-moving 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.
Before driving downhill, the appropriate gear for
the terrain must be selected and the gear lever
shall not be moved during downhill travel (on-road
or off-road gear).
The internal dimensions of constructions must be
noted before entering underground passages,
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 earth-
moving 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
regulations, e.g. on factory premises, traffic
regulations should be applied in the proper
manner. This should also apply with regard to
drivers' licenses.

2.9 Working Operation

Daily before start of operation and after every
attachment change, the machine operator must
check the correct
attachments as well as the correct locking of the
quick-mount hitch. Work attachments are to be
carefully moved at low height. During this check
nobody must be allowed to remain in the danger
zone of the earth-moving machine.
The machine operator shall only swing the work
equipment over occupied driver's seats, operator
consoles and workplaces of other machines when
these are protected by overhead guards (FOPS).
If a cabin 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.
The vehicles must be loaded in such a manner as
to ensure that there is no overloading and no
material can be lost as long as the machine is
moving. The vehicle must be loaded from the
lowest possible height.
At dumping points, earth-moving machines may
only be operated if suitable measures have been
taken to prevent rolling or falling.
