2 Safety
Job site
• The operator is responsible for other persons.
• Before starting work, familiarize yourself with the job
site. This applies to, for example:
- Obstacles in the job site and vehicle travel area
- Any barriers separating the job site from public roads
- Soil weight-bearing capacity
- Existing overhead and underground lines
- Special operating conditions (for example, dust,
steam, smoke, asbestos)
• The operator must know the maximum dimensions of
the machine and the attachment – see "Technical
data".
• Maintain a safe distance (for example, from buildings,
edges of building pits).
• During work in buildings or in enclosed areas, look out
for:
- Height of the ceiling/clearances
- Width of entries/passages
- Maximum load of ceilings and floors
- Sufficient room ventilation (for example, risk of
carbon monoxide poisoning)
• Use existing visual aids to stay aware of the danger
zone.
2-6
• In conditions of darkness and poor visibility, switch on
existing work lights and ensure that motorists are not
blinded by these lights.
• If the existing lights of the vehicle are not sufficient for
performing work safely, ensure additional lighting of
the job site.
• Due to hot machine parts, maintain a safe distance
from easily flammable material (for example, from hay,
dry leaves).
