DANGER
Make sure the machine (wheels and stabilisers)
rests on a firm ground to prevent hazardous
unstable conditions.
If the ground is not firm enough, position some
supporting planks under the stabilisers or the
wheels. These plates must grant a specific pressure
of 1.2 to 1.5 kg/cm
sufficient).
•
Look for the best route to the job site.
•
When the machine is running, nobody can enter
its working range.
•
While working, keep the working area in order.
Never leave objects scattered: they could hinder
the machine movements and represent a danger
for personnel.
•
In presence of trenches, lower the outriggers at a
safe distance from the trench edge.

OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE
HAZARDS
Before any operation, following precautions should be
taken:
•
First of all, make sure that the maintenance
interventions have been carried out with care
according to the established schedule (see section
D - Maintenance).
Set the machine to working configuration and sway
it. Use the special inclinometer to the right of the
driving place to check that the machine is level
before operating it.
•
Ensure you have enough fuel to avoid a sudden
stop of the engine, especially during a crucial
manoeuvre.
•
Clean instruments, data plates, lights and the cab
windscreen thoroughly.
•
Check the correct functioning of all the safety
devices installed on the machine and in the job
site.
•
In case of troubles or difficulties, inform the foreman
at once. Never start working under unsafe
conditions.
•
Do not carry out any repair work in a makeshift
way to start working!
During work, and especially maintenance, always pay
the greatest attention:
•
Do not walk or stop under raised loads or machine
parts supported by hydraulic cylinders or ropes
only.
•
Keep the machine handholds and access steps
always clean from oil, grease or dirt to prevent falls
or slips.
