SAFETY MEASURES 1. SAFETY MEASURES 1.1 GENERAL PRECAUTIONS The machine must only be used by authorised personnel who are trained in its operation. Maintenance personnel must likewise be authorised and trained for the purpose. When operating the machine or carrying out maintenance on it, always observe all possible safety regulations and precautions, and respect all safety notices. If other persons are working on or around the machine, or if the area in which you are work- ing is entered frequently by other persons, make sure that everybody is fully conversant with a set of agreed signals and that everybody works where they can see the machine and can be seen by you as the machine operator.
1.2 SAFETY DEVICES Make sure that all protective panels and guards are securely installed in their correct posi- tions. Replace or repair damaged panels or guards immediately. Never use the machine without all panels and guards in place and never remove them while the engine is running. Always use the appropriate safety devices to secure the machine when parked. Always wear the safety belt correctly. See section 11. «SAFETY DEVICES» for further information on the safety devices. See section 15.4 «THE SAFETY BELT» for further information on the safety belt. Never remove any safety devices and always keep them in good working order.
1.3 PERSONAL PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT Do not wear large or loose clothing, rings, or wrist-watches, and do not approach moving parts if you have long, unbounded hair, which might become entangled and cause serious injury. Do not wear clothing which is stained with oil or fuel which might catch fire easily. When operating or carrying out maintenance on the machine, always wear a hard hat, safety goggles and boots, a mask, gloves, and anti- noise earmuffs. Always wear safety goggles, a hard hat, and thick gloves capable of protecting your hands against metal splinters and shards of material.
These precautions are particularly important when fitting and hammering equipment link pins, and when blowing clean the air filter and radiator. S00001 2
