3 Safety DPU 4045Ye Lifting When lifting the machine, observe the following instructions: Designate a skilled person to guide you for the lifting procedure. You must be able to see or hear this person. Use only suitable and certified hoisting gear, lifting tackle and load-bearing equipment with sufficient lifting capacities.
Page 15
DPU 4045Ye 3 Safety Work environment Familiarize yourself with your work environment before you start work. This in- cludes e.g. the following items: Obstacles in the work and traffic area. Load-bearing capacity of the ground. The measures needed to cordon off the construction site from public traffic in particular.
Page 16
3 Safety DPU 4045Ye Switching off the machine Switch off the engine in the following situations: Before breaks. If you are not using the machine. Store the machine in such a way that it cannot tilt, fall or slip. Storage location After operation, allow the machine to cool and then store it in a sealed-off, clean and dry location protected against frost and inaccessible to children.
