SAFETY MEASURES DURING OPERATION
3-15
EMERGENCY LOWERING SYSTEM
The machine is provided with a pressure accumulator for the
work hydraulic system. If the engine is not running, you can low-
er the work unit with the multi-function lever.
☞
• If you have secured the work hydraulic system with the
locking lever of the work hydraulic system, you cannot
lower the work unit.
1. Make sure that nobody is standing below the work unit.
2. Press slowly the multi-function lever into position ’P’. The
work unit is lowered.
WORKING CLOSE TO OVERHEAD POWER
TRANSMISSION LINES
• A voltage overspill may occur, if you or the machine get too
close to overhead power transmission lines. For this reason,
always heed the required safety distance between the ma-
chine and the overhead power transmission lines.
• Before you start work, obtain information about line voltages
from your supply company.
• When estimating the distance, take into account all possible
movements of the machine, the work unit, and the line. An
uneven surface may result in the machine swaying, or wind
may move the lines, etc..
