SAFETY MEASURES DURING OPERATION
3-16
• Should the work unit come into contact with a power trans-
mission line, proceed as follows:
1. Do not leave the driver's cab. The driver's cab is a "Faraday
cage" protecting you from electric shock.
2. Warn other persons and tell them to stay far away from both
the power line and your machine.
3. Try to move the machine out of the range of influence of the
overhead power transmission line by moving it away from
the line, moving away the work unit, etc.
4. Have the power in the line switched off.
LOADING
• Proceed as follows to fill embankments, to backfill ditches, or
to deposit earth over the edge of a hill:
• The load is relieved very suddenly when the heap of earth is
pushed over the edge of the hill or when the machine reach-
es the edge of the hill. If this happens, the driving speed may
suddenly increase. For this reason, drive particularly slowly
and carefully at these points.
• If possible, perform all load operations with a following wind
to protect yourself against dust and impaired vision.
• Avoid sudden starts, turns, or stops when the bucket is full.
GOOD VISION
• Whenworkingindarkareas,switchontheworkinglightsof
the machine and provide additional lighting for the working
area.
• If vision is impaired, e.g. due to mist, snow, or rain, interrupt
work and wait until vision has improved to such an extent
that safe work is ensured again.
WORKING ON SNOW
• When working on snow or ice-covered surfaces, there is
danger of the machine starting to skid even at a very flat an-
gle. For this reason, drive slowly and avoid sudden starts,
turns, or stops.
• Very often snow hides the edges of roads and other objects.
For this reason, proceed very carefully when removing
snow.
• When driving on hill flanks covered with snow do not brake
abruptly to stop the machine. To stop the machine, lower the
bucket onto the ground.
• The load may vary considerably, depending on the structure
of the snow. For this reason, reduce the load and pay atten-
tion that the machine does not start to skid.
1.
First, dump a heap of earth in front of the hill.
2.
Fill the bucket with earth again and drive the machine
into the heap of earth. Dump the bucket contents behind
the first heap of earth.
