Safety when operating the installation machine

•
Stepping in and out of the installation machine may only be allowed from the left-hand side (in the
direction of travel) to prevent unintentional activation of the controls/operating elements.
•
The installation machine may generally only be operated under optimum viewing conditions and
sufficient lighting (e.g. daylight)!
•
By retrofitting appropriate spotlights (Lighting Package VM-301), work is also allowed in the dark.
•
Always lower the load to approx. 20 cm above the ground when moving!
•
The maximum load of the installation machine, its attachments (e.g. HVZ-UNI) and the loads
attached to it must not be exceeded!
•
When leaving the installation machine, the driver must pull the handbrake and ensure that the
installation machine is standing on a horizontal surface. If necessary, use chocks or the like to
prevent the traverser from rolling away unintentionally.
•
It is not permitted to park the installation machine unattended on sloping and inclined surfaces!
•
During operation of the installation machine, the driver must always ensure that the machine is in a
safe operating condition.
•
Never refill fuel while the engine is running, as there is a risk of explosion if the fuel overflows or
spills!
•
Never use starter spray, always use winter diesel in winter!
•
Always disconnect the battery when working on the electrical system. Danger of electric shock!
It is forbidden for persons to ride along the installation machine (by hanging on it from the outside)!
Accident/danger to life!
•
Never open the motor cover while the engine is running. Always keep the motor cover closed due to
the risk of injury and sound insulation.
•
It is generally forbidden for persons to stand in the working and travel area of the installation
machine during installation work.
A minimum safety distance of 1.5 m between the person and the machine must be observed!
Exception: It is essential due to the type of use of the implement, e.g. by manually guiding a implement
at the handles.
•
It is generally forbidden to stand under a suspended load!
•
It is strictly forbidden to stand in the steering area/kink area of the machine! Risk of crushing the
feet/legs between the front wheels and the chassis.
•
The driver must not leave the control position if the attachments of the laying machine are loaded
with laying material and the system is in operation.
•
Never let the control lever valve (joystick) for operating the attachments, the control pedal for forward
and reverse travel or the control pedal for up and down movement of the boom spring back.
Otherwise there will be pressure surges in the forward and return lines! The laying material may fall
down and the hydraulic motors may be damaged!
