Check the machine’s maximum height and radius of action. If working in the vicinity of overhead cables, keep a distance from them of at least 5 metres.
- Page 22 SAFETY MEASURES DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO CLIMB UP ONTO THE MOVING PARTS OR Wrong! THE LOAD ITSELF Hydraulic excavators are designed for digging and are not equivalent to cranes. Digging tools can fall to the ground in numerous circumstances. Hence: DO NOT lift, slew or lower loads while anyone is beneath them, and do not permit anyone to climb onto the digging tools while they are moving.
- Page 23 SAFETY MEASURES LOADING A TRUCK Wrong! If possible, load trucks from the rear or sides. Dropping the load from a “considerable height” directly into the truck is very hazardous. Use the bucket’s tipping motion to empty it. NEVER pass the load over the truck’s cab. ALWAYS check that the driver is not inside the cab and is out of the unloading area.
- Page 24 SAFETY MEASURES Right! ALWAYS USE A FLAG MAN Only use signals which are familiar to everyone. Always follow the signals given by a single person. DO NOT GIVE RIDES Wrong!
