Danger zones
IMPORTANT
Danger zones on the implement
The following significant hazards are present in the danger zones:
The implement and its work tools move in operation.
Hydraulically lifted implement parts can lower unnoticed and slowly.
The machine can roll unintentionally.
Materials or foreign objects can be ejected out of or away from the implement.
Failure to comply with instructions concerning the danger zone can result in severe or fatal injury.
Keep people out of the danger zone of the implement.
If people enter the danger zone,
immediately switch off engines and drives.Before working in the danger zone of the implement,
secure the implement. This also applies to brief inspection tasks.IMPORTANT
Overhead power lines
When unfolding and folding or when folding and lifting out, or when lifting the machine or machine parts in operation, the machine can reach the height of overhead power lines. This can cause electrical arcing between power lines and the machine, resulting in fatal electrical shock or fire. Major voltage differentials occur on the ground around the machine.
Before operation, carry out a risk assessment at the site by obtaining an overview of the overhead power lines in the area. Keep the risk assessment in mind throughout the entire deployment, particularly when controlling moving machine parts.
When unfolding or folding, and when lifting or lifting out the machine or machine parts, always maintain a safe distance from overhead power lines.
Never fold or unfold machine parts in the vicinity of overhead power line pylons or overhead power lines.
When machine parts are unfolded, always maintain a safe distance from overhead power lines.
If electrical arcing occurs between power lines and the machine:
Stay in the cab.Do not touch metal parts.
Warn people not to come close to the machine.
Wait for help from professional rescue personnel.
If people must exit the cab despite the electrical arcing, e.g. if there is an imminent life-threatening fire hazard:
Jump from the machine so that you land in safe location.Do not touch the machine.
Walk away from the machine, taking small steps.
