1.8.2 WORK ENVIRONMENT
LIGHTNING
The machine has two lighting devices at the front to improve the machine’s visibility in
the work area and not to light the work area at night. The machine must only be used
during the day, with sufficient visibility for the operator to see the work area for a radius
of at least 100 m.
VIBRATIONS
The machine generates vibration during use. Since it is operated from a distance by
means of a radio remote control, these vibrations cannot harm the operator. For
emergencies, the machine is equipped with hydraulic levers located on the left side.
Their use is only permitted in an emergency, so the vibrations to the hand - arm system
are negligible.
NOISE
The machine is intended only for outside use. Noise measurements have been made at
the control position, as prescribed by the machine directive (dynamic measurement at
1m from the machine in motion, measurement time 30” for a distance of 5.6 m), with the
operator at the left of the machine. The measured sound pressure level was 87 dB(A)
with an uncertainty of KpA ± 2.8.
DEMOLISHING THE MACHINE
According to normal disposal of the machinery (after dismantling) and delivery of each
component to a company specialised in the transport, disposal and/or recovery of
waste.
