GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
DANGER
WORKING AREA
Make sure the area all around the machine is safe.

leave objects scattered: they could hinder the
machine movements and represent a danger for
personnel.
PRECAUTIONS DURING WORK
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.

use typeapproved safety belts or fall preventing
devices.
Do not enter/leave the machine when it is running.
Before servicing the engine, let its parts cool down.
Do not leave the driving place when the machine is
running.
Neither stop nor carry out interventions under or
between the machine wheels when engine is running.
When maintenance in this area is needed, stop the
engine, engage the parking brake and chock the
wheels to prevent accidental movements.
Do not carry out maintenance or repair works without
a sufficient lighting.
When using the machine lights, the beam should be
oriented in order not to blind the personnel at work.
Before applying voltage to electric cables or
components, ensure they are properly connected
and efficient.
Do not carry out interventions on electric components
with voltage over 48V.
