1.3.4 RUNNING-IN

Every machine is scrupulously adjusted and tested before delivery. A new machine, however, must be used carefully for the first 100 hours, in order to ensure proper running-in of the various components. If the machine is subjected to excessive work load at the beginning of operation, its potential yield and its function­ality will be shortly and untimely reduced. Every new machine must be used carefully, paying special attention to the following indications:
• After the start, let the engine idle for 5 minutes, in such a way as to warm it up gradually before actual operation.
• Avoid operating the machine with the limit loads allowed or at high speed.
• Avoid abrupt starts or accelerations, useless sudden decelerations and abrupt reversals.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

2.2 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

2.2.1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES

• Only trained and authorized personnel can use the machine and perform maintenance operations.
• Follow all the safety rules, precautions and instructions when using the machine or performing maintenance op­erations.
• When working with other operators or when the work site is often occupied by other operators, make sure that everyone knows and understands all the agreed signals and, in any case, that everyone works in such a way as to be able to see the machine and to be visible to the operator.

2.2.2 SAFETY DEVICES AND GUARDS

• Make sure that all the guards and covers are in the correct position. Have guards and covers changed or re­paired if damaged. Neither use the machine without guards, nor remove the guards when the engine is running.
• Always use the proper safety devices to lock the machine when parking and fasten the safety belt.
• Do not remove the safety devices and always keep them in good operating conditions.
• Any improper use of the safety devices may result in serious injuries or even death.
2.2.3 CLOTHING AND PERSONAL
PROTECTION ITEMS
• Do not wear large or loose clothes, rings and watches and do not approach the machine with loose long hair, since they can get entagled in the moving parts of the machine and cause seri­ous injuries or damage. Avoid also wearing clothes dirty with oil or fuel, since they are flammable.
• Wear a hard hat, goggles, safety shoes, mask, gloves and headphones when operating the machine or performing mainte­nance operations.
• Always wear safety goggles, a hard hat and heavy gloves if your job involves scattering metal chips or minute materials; these precautions are particularly useful when driving the equip­ment connection pins with a hammer and when blowing com­pressed air into the air filter and the radiator to clean them. During these operations, make also sure that no one is standing or working near the machine without the necessary protections.
• When working for 8 hours with a noise level exceeding 90 dBA, it is necessary to use headphones or ear plugs and be particu­larly careful, especially at the end of the work shift.

2.2.5 LEAVING THE OPERATOR’S SEAT

• When leaving the operator’s seat, even if temporarily, make sure that the machine is in a safe position. (See "2.4.13 PARK­ING THE MACHINE").
• Before leaving the operator’s seat, carry out the following oper­ations in the sequence indicated below:
1 - Rest the equipment onto the ground.
2 - Connect the safety devices of the boom swing, optional
equipment and upper structure rotation controls.
3 - Lock the equipment control by shifting the safety device le-
ver to the lock position.
4 - Stop the engine (See "3.3.3 STOPPING THE ENGINE"). 5 - If you have to go so far away that you will not be able to
see the machine, extract the ignition key.
