Safety regulations 2.13.4 Opening delivery lines Delivery lines must not be opened or tapped off while they are pres‐ surised. Concrete exiting under pressure can cause injury. The con‐ crete column must be depressurised by reverse pumping before the delivery line is opened. Never bend over the coupling when you are working.
Page 56
Safety regulations 2.13.8 Devices for shutting off, diverting and cleaning During operation, there is a risk of being crushed and of injury by shearing. Hydraulically driven devices are generally supplied with power by the hydraulic system of a machine. For this reason, there must always be a line of sight between the devices and the machine fitted with the control unit.

Safety regulations The preferred methods for cleaning the delivery line are reverse pumping or forced cleaning with water. The agitator must be switched on during reverse pumping. Otherwise, the concrete flowing back into the hopper can bend the agitator shaft. Use a catch basket, pipe cleaning head and wash-out ball for forced cleaning to prevent any water from flowing into the formwork.

Safety regulations spected by qualified welding personnel. The operator must document the evidence of the formal qualifications of the welder and the quali‐ fied welding personnel. Always attach the earth cable of the welding unit directly to the com‐ ponent which is being welded. The welding current must not flow through hinges, cylinders, etc.
Page 254
Safety regulations The delivery line was installed without tension with the placing boom in the driving position and can only be replaced without difficulty in this condition. Stresses may be generated on folding if the delivery line is replaced when the placing boom is unfolded. Do not remove the entire delivery line but rather replace the delivery line boom arm by boom arm, for example.
Page 255
Safety regulations Keep all warning signs and information plates on the machine com‐ plete and in a perfectly legible condition. It is your responsibility as operator to ensure that any warning signs and information plates that have been damaged or rendered illegible are replaced without delay.
Page 256
Safety regulations If work is to be carried out on live parts, the presence of a second person is required who can switch off the power supply to the ma‐ chine in the event of an emergency. Secure the working area with a red-and-white safety chain and a warning plate.
Page 257
Safety regulations Always wear your personal protective equipment when carrying out work on the hydraulic system. Escaping fluid is toxic and can pene‐ trate the skin. Injection through the skin is a major medical emergency. In the event of injuries caused by pressurised fluid, inform the company medical officer and call a medical specialist immediately.
Page 258
Safety regulations The hydraulic system must be properly vented after all maintenance work. Otherwise there is a risk of injury caused by swinging and tele‐ scopic support legs extending rapidly, the placing boom lowering, etc. Open vent valves very carefully until hydraulic fluid starts to escape. You should on no account open vent valves further than necessary or go so far as to remove them.
Page 259
Safety regulations ing up the engine in enclosed spaces, make sure that there is ade‐ quate ventilation and direct the exhaust gases away from the place of work. Wear personal protective clothing and equipment for all work in which exhaust gases or particles of building material can enter the body through the respiratory passages.
