Introduction
GENERAL WORK RULES
• The tips, recommendations and warnings that follow are aimed at ensuring that work
is carried out in a rational way and with maximum operational safety, thereby eliminating
significantly the chances of accidents, injury and damages of any nature and downtimes.
They should therefore be scrupulously observed.
TIPS:
•
Always use equipment of an optimum quality.
•
Use specially designed equipment, in accordance with European guidelines, to raise the
machine.
•
While carrying out work, keep tools within reach, as far as possible according to a
predetermined sequence, and in any event never on the machine or in areas that are
hidden or difficult to access.
•
Keep the work area clean and tidy.
•
When tightening nuts and bolts, begin either with those with the larger diameter or the
inner ones, proceeding to tighten them in successive steps in a criss-cross pattern.
•
The correct method is using a set gap spanner, with a pulling rather than a pushing
action.
•
Adjustable spanners (F. 1) should only be used in an emergency, e.g. when the correct
size of set spanner is not available. When force is applied to these, the mobile jaws tend
to open, with the risk of possible damage to the bolt head or nut, as well as obtaining an
unreliable tightening torque. In any event, they must be used as illustrated in Figure 1.
•
Except in special service cases, a work sheet should be prepared for the customer, setting
out all the work carried out and notes about any possible future checks.
