Safety instructions for operation of earth moving machines
In case of a current transfer or if the machine touches a live wire, the following rules apply:
• Do not leave the control stand
• Warn others against approaching and touching the machine
• If possible, move the work equipment or the entire earth moving machine out of the
danger zone
• Have the live wire de-energized!
• Leave the machine only after the damaged line/the line you have come into contact
with is de-energized.
Operation below ground and in enclosed areas
When using earth moving machines below ground and in enclosed areas, ensure ade-
quate ventilation and follow the regulations that are in force.
Breaks/work interruptions
During breaks and at the end of a shift, the operator must park the earth moving
machine on firm and level ground and secure the machine against unintentional
movements.
Lower the work equipment to the ground or secure it in order to prevent unintentional
movements.
The operator may not leave the earth moving machine if the work equipment has
not been secured or lowered to the ground.
Park the earth moving machine only in places where it will not pose an obstacle, for
example to traffic on public roads or construction sites.
If necessary, install warning devices, such as warning triangles, warning tape,
flashing or warning lights, etc.
The operator must move all controls to their zero positions and apply the brakes
before leaving the control stand.
The operator must stop the engines and secure them against unauthorized start-up
if he goes away from the earth moving machine.
Applications with lifting gear
Applications with lifting gear are understood as procedures involving raising, trans-
porting and lowering loads with the help of slings and load-securing devices (ropes,
chains, etc.). In doing so, the help of persons is necessary for securing and detach-
ing the load.
This applies for example to lifting and lowering pipes, shaft rings or containers with earth
moving machines.
The earth moving machine may be used for applications with lifting gear only if the
prescribed safety devices are in place and functional.
In the case of hydraulic excavators, these are for example:
• Safe possibilities of slinging and securing lifting gear
• Load diagram
• And in addition, for hydraulic excavators with an permissible load-carrying capacity of
over 1000 kg or an overturning moment of over 40 000 Nm
• Safe load indicator
• Hose burst valve(s) on the boom lift cylinder(s).
