• Apply the parking brake when parking the machine. If possible, do not park the dumper
on slopes. If this cannot be avoided, use wheel chocks, etc. Lower the skip before
leaving the dumper. Apply the parking brake only in an emergency during machine
travel.
• Keep the base plate of the skip in a clean condition so that the material is easily
dumped out of the skip. Load only material that can be easily dumped out.
• Never travel too close to the edges of unsecured pits, precipices, etc. The pressure of
the wheels on the ground may cause the edge to give way.
• Never tilt out material into trenches where people are working. If the operator cannot
see into the trench, he or she must be guided by someone who can see into the trench.
• Always make sure the brakes are in perfect condition.
• Apart from the operator, do not allow anyone to ride on the machine.
• Never lift, lower, or carry persons in the work equipment or attachments.
• Never install a man basket or a working platform to the machine.
• Take the necessary precautions to make sure the machine is used only when in a safe
and reliable state.
• Operate the machine only if all protective and safety-oriented devices (ROPS,
removable safety devices, soundproofing elements, mufflers, etc.) are in place and fully
functional.
• Check the machine at least once a day/per machine operation shift for visible damage
and defects. Report any changes, including changes in the machine's operational
behavior, to your supervisor immediately!
• If the machine is behaving unpredictably, stop the machine immediately, lock it and
report the malfunction to the competent authority/person. Safety-relevant damage or
malfunctions of the machine must be rectified immediately.
• When traveling on public roads, ways and places, observe all applicable traffic
regulations. If necessary, make sure that the machine is in compliance with these
regulations.
• When crossing underpasses, gates, bridges and tunnels, or when passing under
overhead lines, make sure the clearance height and width are sufficient.
