Safety and Accident Prevention 2 2.15 Operation in closed spaces If earth-moving machines are to be used in closed spaces, these areas must be sufficiently ventilated and special regulations observed. 2.16 Work stoppages Before rest periods and at the end of the working day, the driver of the earth-moving machine must park the machine on ground which has sufficient carrying capacity and is as level as possible, and must secure it against unintended movement. Before rest periods and at the end of the working day, the driver must lower the work equipment onto the ground or secure it so that it cannot move.
The driver is not to leave the earth-moving machine if the work equipment has not been lowered to the ground or secured. Earth-moving machines are only to be parked in places where they do not present an obstacle to others, e.g. on the construction site or to plant traffic. Warning devices, e. g. triangles, warning cordons, flashing or hazard lights are to be used if necessary. Before leaving the operator stand, the driver must bring all operating equipment and controls into home position, switch off the working hydraulics and apply the brakes.
If the driver is leaving the earth-moving machine unattended, he must first turn off the engine and ensure that it cannot be started up by unauthorized persons (e. g. removing ignition keys). 18/112 TL160 Operating Manual 12.9.08 Version 1.0
