General – Concerning your safety
The machine must only be started and operated from the driver's
stand.
Before starting and moving the machine make sure that no person
is:
n
under the machine,
n
in the swinging range of the conveyor belt,
n
or in the vicinity of the track wheels.
Always sound the warning horn before starting the machine.
The machine must not be operated with damaged, missing or non-
functional safety installations.
For starting set all control levers to "neutral position".
Do not use any starting aids like start pilot or ether.
After starting check all display instruments.
Do not leave the machine with the engine running.
Exhaust gases pose a danger to life! Always ensure an adequate
supply of fresh air when starting in closed rooms!
Connect positive with positive and negative with negative (ground
cable) – always connect the ground strap last and disconnect it
first! A wrong connection will cause severe damage in the electric
system.
Do not start the engine by shorting the electric terminals on the
starter motor, because the machine may start to drive immediately.
Before taking up work, also after breaks, you should always con-
vince yourself that the danger zone is free of persons or obstruc-
tions, especially when driving in reverse.
Give warning signals, if necessary. Stop work immediately if per-
sons remain in the danger zone, despite the warning.
When displacing/transporting the machine:
n
Level the machine in transverse direction and raise it com-
pletely,
