3 Safety
This section provides an overview of all key safety aspects for protecting people
and for safe and fault-free operation. Additional specific safety instructions are in-
cluded in the sections detailing the individual service life phases.
3.1 Basic hazards
The following section indicates remaining risks which may arise in connection with
the machine even when it is used for its proper use.
In order to reduce the risks of personal injury and material damage and to prevent
hazardous situations, adhere to the safety instructions listed here and the safety in-
structions in the other sections of these operating instructions.
3.1.1 General hazards in the work station
Swivelling aerial access
platform
WARNING
Risk to life due to swivelling aerial access platform!
During operation, the aerial access platform can swivel out. This can cause severe
injuries or even death.
– Never step under or into the swivel range of the aerial access platform.
– Only move the aerial access platform under supervision.
– Always operate the aerial access platform as a pair, with the help of a second
person.
– Always wear personal protective equipment.
Work on higher up situated
places
WARNING
Risk of falling!
During work on higher up situated places, there is a risk of falling. This can cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
– Always wear full body harnesses (acc. to EN361) when in the working basket
and do not swing or move abruptly.
– Do not climb onto the safety fence around the basket.
– Make sure that the machine is set up properly and holds securely.
– Make sure that when moving the working basket, no body parts are crushed,
e.g. against a wall.
– At wind speeds above 12.5m/s (wind strength 6 Bft), stop work immediately.
– Always wear personal protective equipment.

Safety
16 07/05/2018
Exhaust gases
WARNING
Risk to life from poisoning or suffocation due to exhaust gases!
When inhaled, exhaust gases can lead to suffocation and cause severe poisoning
as well a illness of the respiratory system.
– Always ensure fresh air supply when working on the machine in diesel engine
mode.
– Any person inhaling exhaust gases must be provided with fresh air immedi-
ately and checked by a physician.
3.1.2 Hazards due to electric energies
Electrical current
DANGER
Risk of fatal injury due to electrical current!
There is a direct risk of fatal injury due to electric shock in case of contact with live
parts. Damage to the insulation or individual components may represent a risk of
fatal injury.
– Do not work on or near high-voltage lines.
– Only have qualified electricians perform work on the electrical system.
– In case of damage to the insulation, switch off the voltage supply immediately
and have the machine repaired.
– Never bypass or disable any fuses or circuit breakers. When changing fuses
or circuit breakers, make sure that the ampere rating is correct.
– Keep moisture away from parts which are live with voltage. It may cause a
short-circuit.
– Adhere to cable strengths based on "Cable length". Electric motor.
– Lay (extension) cables so that they cannot be driven over, they do not come
into contact with liquids, they are not sharply nicked or otherwise stressed.
– Keep outlet easily accessible at all times.
– Before performing work on live parts, pull the mains plug.

Batteries
WARNING
Risk of injury due to improper handling of batteries!
Wrong handling of batteries poses the risk that the batteries burst or that noxious li-
quid leaks from the batteries. The liquid may cause skin burns when in contact or
severe poisoning if swallowed and can cause blindness when contact with the
eyes.
– Never short-circuit the contacts (plus and minus pole) of the battery.
– Never use or store batteries at locations with potentially explosive atmosphere
or where high temperatures occur.
– Never try to weld, repair or change batteries in any manner or take it apart or
retrofit.
– Always protect battery from unauthorized access.
– To prevent fire, overheating, explosion or leakage of fluid never expose the
batteries to severe vibration, high weight bearing or other harmful effects.
Leaking and spilled liquid can ignite.
– Avoid contact with spilled liquid.
Measures after contact with battery fluid:
nWash skin with water and soap after contact.
nImmediately flush out eyes and underneath eye lid for 15 minutes with clear
water. When doing so, point mild water jet directly into the eye, do not rub
eyes, immediately contact a physician.

3.1.3 Hazards due to mechanical elements
Falling parts
WARNING
Risk of injury due to falling parts!
During operation, material can fall down uncontrolled and cause severe injuries.
– Make others aware of the danger zone and block off the area.
– Do not enter the danger zone during normal operation.
– Never place objects on the working basket safety fence.
Outriggers and arms
DANGER
Risk of crushing on outriggers and arms!
When bracing or swivelling the machine, there is a risk of crushing.
– Make sure that when bracing, no persons, supply lines or other objects are in
the area around the supports.
– Ensure that no persons are within the danger zone when swivelling the ma-
chine.
– Make sure that no persons are in the danger zone when moving into transport
position.
Insufficient stability
WARNING
Risk of injury due to insufficient stability!
Without sufficient stability, there is a risk of the machine toppling. This can cause
serious or even fatal injuries.
– Make sure that the ground has sufficient load capacity.
– Do not exceed the maximum slope.

Chain drive
WARNING
Risk to life due to pulling in and pinching off body parts on the
chain drive!
Running chains and rotating chain wheels can pull in pieces of clothing as well as
body parts and thus cause severe to fatal injuries.
– During operation, do not reach into running chains or chain wheels.
– Keep chain drives inaccessible during operation. Do not open any covers.
– While in the danger zone, wear closely-fitting protective clothing with low tear
strength.
– Before all work on chains or chain wheels, switch the machine off and secure
against restart. Wait until all components have come to a standstill.
– During operation, maintain a sufficient safety distance.
– Pay attention to the change of direction.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to driving over body parts!
With the crawler chassis, there is a risk of pinching off body parts and thus causing
severe to fatal injuries.
– During operation, do not reach into running chains or chain wheels.
– During operation, maintain a sufficient safety distance.
– Pay attention to the change of direction.
– Do not drive over power lines.
3.1.4 Hazards due to hydraulic energies
Hydraulics
WARNING
Risk of fatal injury posed by hydraulic energies!
Hydraulic powered moving parts can cause serious injuries.
– Work on hydraulic system may only be carried out by hydraulic experts.
– Before starting any work de depressurise the hydraulic system.
– Never reach into moving parts or work on moving parts during operation.
– Do not open covers during operation.
– While in the danger zone, wear closely-fitting protective clothing with low tear
strength.

3.1.5 Hazards due to high temperatures
Hot surfaces
WARNING
Risk of injury due to hot surface!
Surfaces of motor components can heat up considerably during operation. Skin
contact with hot surfaces causes severe burns to the skin.
– Avoid contact with hot motor components such as exhaust system, radiator,
hoses and engine block.
– Check before all work on engine components, as to whether these are hot. Al-
low them to cool down if necessary.
3.1.6 Hazards due to chemicals
Anti-freeze agents
WARNING
Health hazard due to anti-freeze agents!
The coolant of the diesel engine consists of a water anti-freeze agent mixture.
Upon body contact, ingestion or inhalation of areosoles, anti-freeze agents can
lead to serious health problems.
– Avoid contact with anti-freeze agents.
– Do not eat, drink or smoke when handling anti-freeze agents. Prior to breaks
and completion of work, wash hands.
– Wear protective gloves when working with anti-freeze agents.
Measures after contact with anti-freeze agents:
nWash skin with lots of water after contact.
nRinse eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes after contact and con-
sult a physician.
nRinse out mouth after ingesting and drink lots of water thereafter. Consult a
physician.
nAfter aerosol inhalation go outdoors for fresh air.
Motor oil
WARNING
Risk of injury due to motor oil!
Motor oil contains toxic substances that can trigger inflammation and are carcino-
genic.
– Prevent skin contact with motor oil.
– After accidental skin contact, immediately wash your hands with soap. Do not
use gasoline, solvent or other chemical cleaners.
