3.3 - GENERAL SAFETY RULES

3.3.1 - CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The cause of damage and accidents can often be attributed to mistakes or lack of maintenance,
such as:
- Lack of oil, grease and anti-freeze.
- Lack of cleaning.
- Emergency Stop, limit switches not checked daily,
- Failure in the hydraulic system (damaged hoses, loose connections, etc.).
Carry out all service and maintenance work carefully; it is vitally important for both your safety and
the safety of others - never put off repairs.
Assign only specialised or authorised personnel to carry out repairs.
Always follow the safety instructions given below, even if you are fully familiar with all the controls.
- Adapt the speed to the conditions of the travel path.
- Before starting to work, check that all the movements, limit switches, and safety devices operate
properly.
- Check that the emergency stop devices are in perfect working order (on the remote control and on
the machine).
- Continually ensure that nobody is within the danger zone of the machine (100m). Warn them by
sounding the horn or verbally instruction and stop working if they fail to leave the danger zone.
