4. Accident prevention
Most accidents that occur during work, maintenance or transport of a
machine are due to non-observance of the most elementary rules of
accident prevention.
It is, therefore, necessary that all licensed users (relatives, employees, colleagues) read and observe the rules that follow below:
• Turn off the engine of the motorized machine before carrying out
any adjustments, maintenance or cleaning on the machine!
• In order to achieve the highest possible performance of the LIP-
CO ME, it must always be in perfect condition. Maintenance and
repair work must be carried out by trained personnel only. Spare
parts must at least comply with the technical requirements specified by the manufacturer! This is only guaranteed for LIPCO orig-
inal spare parts!
• Prior to any work on the machine, it should be placed on level
and solid ground! When working with the unit lifted, always ensure mechanical protection by means of adequate supporting elements!
• Before each use, nuts, screws and pins, especially those of the
tools and the drive flange, must be checked to ensure they are
firmly tightened!
• Take special caution when working alongside roads or pathways!
• Do not leave the machine running without supervision!
• During service or repair work, make sure that no one can start up
the machine accidentally!
• Do not wear wide or loose clothes (e.g. scarves)!
• Do not, for any reason, climb onto the machine during operation
and do not act with any objects on the machine!
• The LIPCO ME must never be operated without protection
against stones!
