2 Safety
This section provides an overview of all safety aspects
that are essential to the best possible protection of the
personnel and the safe and trouble-free operation of the
machine. Additional safety instructions for specific work
tasks are contained in the sections regarding the indi-
vidual life stages of the machine.
2.1 Essential dangers
The following section describes remaining risks which
can arise from the machine even with proper use.
In order to reduce risks of personal injury and property
damage and avoid dangerous situations, the safety
instructions listed here and the safety instructions in the
other sections of these instructions must be followed.
2.1.1 General hazards in the workplace
WARNING!
Danger 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
with at least two people.
– Always wear personal protective equip-
ment.

WARNING!
Risk of falling!
During work in high places, there is a risk of
falling. This can cause severe injuries or even
death.
– Always wear a safety harness (acc. to EN
361) when in the working basket and do
not swing or move jerk.
– 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 12.5 m/s (wind
strength 6 Bft), stop work immediately.
– Always wear personal protective equip-
ment.
WARNING!
Danger to life from poisoning or suffoca-
tion due to exhaust gas!
When inhaled, exhaust gases can lead to suf-
focation and cause severe poisoning as well
a illness of the respiratory system.
– Always ensure fresh air supply when
working on the machine in combustion
engine mode.
– Any person inhaling exhaust gas must be
provided with fresh air immediately. Con-
sult a physician.

2.1.2 Danger due to electric current
DANGER!
Danger to life due to electric current!
Upon contact with voltage-conducting parts,
there is an immediate danger to life due to
electric shock. Damage to the insulation or
individual components can present a danger
to life.
– 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 fuses or take them out of
operation. When changing fuses, adhere
to the correct amperage.
– Keep humidity away from voltage-con-
ducting parts. This can cause a short-cir-
cuit.
– Adhere to cable strengths according to
Ä ‘Cable lengths’ on page 42.
– Lay (extension) cables so that they cannot
be driven over, they do not come into con-
tact with liquids, they are not sharply
nicked or otherwise stressed.
– Keep outlet easily accessible at all times.
– Before performing work on voltage-con-
ducting parts, pull the mains plug.

WARNING!
Danger of injury due to incorrect handling
of batteries!
In case of batteries are improperly handled,
there is the danger that the batteries can
explode or that liquids that are hazardous to
health can egress from the batteries. The
liquid egressing can cause severe burns
upon skin contact, severe poisoning upon
swallowing and blindness in case it comes in
contact with eyes.
– Never short circuit the contacts (positive
and negative poles) of the batteries!
– Never use or store batteries in places
where the atmosphere is explosive or
where temperatures can rise excessively.
– Never attempt to solder batteries, to repair
them, to change their form, to remodel
them or to dismantle them.
– Always protect batteries from access by
unauthorised persons.
– In order to avoid fires, overheating, explo-
sions or escape of fluids, do not subject
batteries to heavy vibrations or shocks,
place heavy weights on them or subject
them to other damaging exposures. Liq-
uids which emanate from batteries can get
inflamed.
– Avoid contact with escaping liquids.
Measures to be undertaken upon contact with battery
liquids:
nWash skin with plenty of water and soap after con-
tact.
nRinse out with clear water under the eyelids for at
least 15 minutes after contact. While doing so, do
not direct the stream of water directly on the eyes
and do not rub. Immediately summon medical assis-
tance.

2.1.3 Danger due to mechanical elements
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to falling materials!
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.
WARNING!
Danger of crushing on supports and arms!
When bracing or swivelling the machine,
there is a danger of crushing.
– Make sure that when bracing, no people,
supply lines or other objects are in the
area around the supports.
– Make sure that no people are in the
danger zone when swivelling the machine.
– Make sure that no people are in the
danger zone when moving into transport
position.
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to insufficient sta-
bility!
With insufficient stability, there is a danger
that the machine will tip. This can cause
severe injuries or even death.
– Make sure that the ground has sufficient
load capacity ( Ä Chapter 3 ‘Technical
data’ on page 39).
– Do not exceed the maximum slope
( Ä Chapter 3 ‘Technical data’
on page 39).

WARNING!
Danger of injury due to driving over body
parts!
With the crawler chassis, there is a danger of
pinching off body parts and thus causing
severe to fatal injuries.
– During operation, do not reach into run-
ning chains or chain wheels.
– During operation, maintain a sufficient
safety distance.
– Pay attention to the change of direction.
– Do not drive over power lines.
2.1.4 Danger due to hydraulic energies
WARNING!
Danger to life from hydraulic forces!
Hydraulically driven moving parts can cause
grave injuries.
– Work on the hydraulic system must only
be carried out by trained hydraulics techni-
cians.
– Before starting work on the hydraulic
system, ensure that it has been com-
pletely depressurised. The pressure accu-
mulator must be completely relieved.
– During operation, do not reach into or
handle moving parts.
– Do not open covers during operation.
– When in the danger zone, wear close-fit-
ting protective work clothing with low tear
strength.

2.1.5 Dangers due to high temperatures
WARNING!
Danger of injury due to hot surfaces!
Surfaces of engine components can get
heated up considerably during operation.
Skin contact with hot surfaces causes severe
burns to the skin.
– Avoid contact with engine components
such as exhaust components, silencers,
coolers, radiators, pipes and engine
blocks.
– Check before all work on engine compo-
nents, as to whether these are hot. If
necessary, allow them to cool.
2.1.6 Danger due to chemicals
WARNING!
Health danger of anti freeze agents
The coolant of the diesel engine consists of a
mixture of water and anti freeze agent. In
case of body contact, swallowing or inhalation
of aerosols, anti freeze agents can lead to
severe health hazards.
– Avoid contact with anti freeze materials.
– Do not eat, drink or smoke while handling
anti freeze materials. Wash hands before
breaks and at the end of work.
– Always wear protective gloves while
working with anti freeze agents.
Measures to be undertaken upon contact with anti
freeze agents:
nWash skin with plenty of water after contact.
nRinse eyes thoroughly with water for at least 15
minutes and call a doctor.
nRinse out mouth after swallowing and drink plenty of
water afterwards. Summon a doctor.
nIn case aerosols are inhaled, go out into fresh air.

WARNING!
Danger of injury through engine oil!
Engine oil contains poisonous substances
which can cause inflammations and / or are
carcinogenic.
– Avoid all skin contact with engine oil.
– In case of accidental skin contact, wash
the hands or affected area immediately
with soap. Do not ever use petrol, gaso-
line, solvents or other chemical cleaning
agents.
2.1.7 Danger due to traffic and vehicles
WARNING!
Danger to life due to parts protruding into
the traffic area!
A failure to heed flowing traffic can cause
accidents with the most severe injuries or
even death.
– Secure the danger zone around the aerial
access platform completely and visibly
(even in case of poor visual conditions).
– Always be prepared for possible traffic
accidents, especially such kind as can be
caused by third parties.
