Safety

b General Safety Information

Operators and maintenance personnel must always comply with the following precautions. These precautions are given here for your protection. Review them carefully before operating the machine and before performing general maintenance or repairs. Supervising personnel should develop additional precautions relating to the specific work area and local safety regulations.

• Before operating the machine ensure you have had proper training and are fully conversant with the machine and its operation - If in Doubt ASK!

• Read this instruction manual carefully before operating the machine. Ensure this instruction manual is kept with the machine at all times and is in good condition - replace the manual immediately if it becomes dirty, damaged or lost.

• Safety signs are fitted to machine for safety purposes and MUST be replaced immediately if they are unreadable or lost. If the machine is repaired and parts have been replaced on which decals were fixed ensure new decals are fitted before the machine is put into service.

• Always make sure there is adequate ventilation around the machine. Never run the engine in an enclosed area without good ventilation or next to combustible materials.

• Stop the engine before refuelling, if there is a spillage mop it up and do not start the engine until it has been done.

• The exhaust gets extremely hot. Do not place anything on top of it and keep all combustible materials clear. Do not attempt any maintenance on a hot engine.

• Be familiar with all prohibited work areas such as excessive slopes and dangerous terrain conditions.

• Check your local laws and regulations, the engine may require a spark arrester etc.

• Do not inspect or clean the machine with the engine running.

• Before carrying out maintenance on the hydraulic system ensure the hydraulic fluid is cool and there is no residual pressure in the hydraulic circuit - hydraulic fluid leaking under pressure can penetrate the skin.

• Make sure you, and anyone else who uses the machine, have been trained to operate it correctly.

• Personal Protective Equipment must be used as necessary.

• Establish a training programme for all operators to ensure they are fully familiar with its operation.

• Do not operate the machine unless thoroughly trained and are physically and mentally fit.

• Do not operate the machine if it is damaged, improperly adjusted or not completely and correctly assembled.

• Always use driveways approved by site management when driving around the site.

• Do not work under a raised skip unless the props are fitted and locked in position.

• Do not drive the machine with the skip raised.

• Do not operate the machine if you are unfit to do so because of alcohol or drugs etc.

• Before performing any maintenance on the machine, place a warning tag on the machine to prevent accidental start-up and/or remove the start key and battery isolator. Put the locking bar into position to prevent the front and rear chassis moving and creating a crushing zone.

• Ensure the ROPS/FOPS is not damaged.

• The operator must get off machine when loading the dumper skip.

• Do not carry passengers.

• Keep footplates and steps free from dirt, oil, snow, ice etc.

• Check seat belts daily. ALWAYS WEAR A SEAT BELT

WHEN OPERATING THE MACHINE.

• Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Do not add coolant to a hot engine.

• Always park machine correctly on firm, level ground where it will not cause an obstruction or danger - chock the wheels if necessary. DO NOT LEAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING or the start key in the start switch.

• Before taking the machine on public roads ensure the machine complies with all road traffic regulations and obey all driving laws.

• Tyre Changes and repairs to Punctured Tyres MUST only be carried out by fully trained Operatives using the correct equipment. The manufacturer of this machine recommends a competent firm is employed to carry out these tasks.

• If the machine is fitted with ROPS/FOPS and the machine should roll over, the Operator must grip the steering wheel firmly allowing the seat belt to restrain him/her in the seat until the machine comes to rest.

If any site personnel has any concerns with any safety aspect of the machine, the machine must not be used until the safety concerns have been rectified or an authorised person has checked and satisfied the site personnel the machine is safe to use.

b Seat Controlled Safety System

To help prevent accidents a safety system prevents the engine being started unless the operator is sat on the seat.

An inhibitor switch in the seat is operated by the weight of the operator and the seat must be adjusted for the drivers weight.

b Seat Belt

A seat belt is provided for operator safety, it must be worn at all times the machine is in use. It is important that the seat belt is inspected and checked regularly See Maintenance Section.

b ROPS

A ROPS (Roll Over Protective Structure) is provided for operator safety.

Although ROPS seem to be relatively maintenance-free, regular periodic inspections to ensure ROPS are damage free and thus capable of functioning in a rollover cannot be over emphasized.

Through periodic inspections, cracks, loose bolts, damage, and other normal wear and tear related problems can be eliminated before they become serious.

Proper inspection and maintenance procedures can ensure that ROPS will perform the life saving function they are designed for and expected to do.

Details on the inspection and maintenance of the ROPS will be found in the Maintenance Section.

Failure to properly inspect and maintain a seat belt can

cause serious injury or loss of life in the event of an

accident.

The seat belt MUST be worn at all times when operating

this equipment.

Do NOT modify or attach items to the ROPS without the

manufacturers approval.

Do NOT use the ROPS as an attachment point for towing

or pulling equipment.

b Hydraulic Fluid

Fine jets of hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin.

Do not use your fingers to check for small leaks or expose uncovered areas of your body to leaks.

Check for leaks using a piece of cardboard.

b Fluid Levels

Ensure Machine is on level Stable Ground, gear lever is in neutral and the engine is stopped when checking ALL fluid levels.

b Frozen Battery Electrolyte

• Batteries with frozen electrolyte may explode if used or charged.

• Never 'jump start' a machine with a frozen battery.

• To help prevent freezing, keep the battery fully charged.

b Fires

Using water to extinguish an oil fire could spread the fire or give you a shock from an electrical fire.

Use a carbon dioxide, dry chemical or foam extinguisher whilst waiting for the fire brigade.

Keep fire extinguisher seviceable and have it checked regularly.

b Water Cooled Engines

Water cooled systems operate under pressure to increase the boiling point of the coolant. Therefore, the coolant temperature may be greater than boiling water at standard atmospheric pressure (100ºC).

If skin is penetrated with Hydraulic Fluid, Get Immediate

b Lubricants

It is essential that anyone concerned with lubricants read and understand the following text.

b Hygiene

Lubricants are not a health risk when used correctly for their intended purposes.

However, excessive or prolonged skin contact can remove the natural fats from the skin, causing dryness and irritation.

Low viscosity oils are more likely to do this, therefore particular care is necessary in handling used oils which can be diluted with fuel contamination.

Whenever handling oil products, maintain good standards of care plus personal and plant hygiene.

For details of these precautions we advise you to read the relevant publications issued by your local health authority.

b Storage

ALWAYS keep lubricants out of reach of children.

NEVER store lubricants in open or unlabelled containers.
