WARNING
Dangerous situations during ski slope preparation:
►
To avoid accidents, take the utmost care when driving on steep, icy or unfamiliar ground.
►
Unfamiliar or snow-covered ground can cause the driver to inadvertently leave the intended
path and may conceal unexpected dangers.
►
Before crossing a frozen lake or waterway with the snow groomer, ensure that the load bearing
capacity of the ice is sufficient.
►
It is absolutely forbidden to drive on marshy ground or areas subject to landslip.
►
Do not fill the fuel tank while the engine is running.
►
Keep open flames and sparks as far away as possible from the fuel. Do not smoke!
Before starting the snow groomer, the driver should check around the vehicle to make sure there are
no people or obstacles in the hazard area. The driver should also check the parking area for any
traces of fluids that have come from the vehicle or the attachments.
Apart from that, the following points should be remembered:
■
The daily checks and maintenance operations must be carried out.
■
When preheating or parking the snow groomer, leave the engine running only if the vehicle is su-
pervised by the person responsible.
■
The vehicle should never be parked in enclosed spaces (e.g. a garage) where there is no aera-
tion/ventilation system.
■
Before switching on the windscreen wipers, make sure that they are not frozen fast on the wind-
screen. Do not use the windscreen wipers when the windscreen is dry.
■
Make sure that the rotating beacons are switched on.
■
Before starting to work, close the cab doors and fasten the safety belts.
If there are any unauthorised personnel in the working area, remember the following points:
■
Do not use the attachments (front blade, rear tiller, half-pipe tiller, etc.).
■
Do not use the rear tiller's tiller shaft and do not reverse.
