Slope Safety; Concrete Breaker Safety; Maintenance And Storage Safety - Toro 23136 Bedienungsanleitung

Slope Safety

•
Operate the machine up and down slopes with
the heavy end of the machine uphill. Weight
distribution changes with attachments. This
attachment makes the front of machine the heavy
end.
•
Keep the attachment in the lowered position
when on slopes. Raising the attachment on a
slope affects the stability of the machine.
•
Slopes are a major factor related to loss of control
and tip-over accidents, which can result in severe
injury or death. Operating the machine on any
slope or uneven terrain requires extra caution.
•
Establish your own procedures and rules for
operating on slopes. These procedures must
include surveying the site to determine which
slopes are safe for machine operation. Always
use common sense and good judgment when
performing this survey.
•
Slow down and use extra care on hillsides. Ground
conditions can affect the stability of the machine.
•
Avoid starting or stopping on a slope. If the
machine loses traction, proceed slowly, straight
down the slope.
•
Avoid turning on slopes. If you must turn, turn
slowly and keep the heavy end of the machine
uphill.
•
Keep all movements on slopes slow and gradual.
Do not make sudden changes in speed or
direction.
•
If you feel uneasy operating the machine on a
slope, do not do it.
•
Watch for holes, ruts, or bumps, as uneven terrain
could overturn the machine. Tall grass can hide
obstacles.
•
Use caution when operating on wet surfaces.
Reduced traction could cause sliding.
•
Evaluate the area to ensure that the ground is
stable enough to support the machine.
•
Use caution when operating the machine near the
following:
– Drop-offs
– Ditches
– Embankments
– Bodies of water
The machine could suddenly roll over if a track
goes over the edge or the edge caves in. Maintain
a safe distance between the machine and any
hazard.
•
Do not remove or add attachments on a slope.
•
Do not park the machine on a hillside or slope.

Concrete Breaker Safety

•
Wear personal protective equipment (PPE) and
appropriate clothing, including the following:
– Hard hat
– Respirator or dust mask
– Safety glasses
– Hearing protection
– Substantial, slip-resistant footwear
– Long pants
– Shirt with long sleeves that are tight at the
wrists
– Tight-fitting gloves without drawstrings or loose
cuffs
•
For wheeled traction units, use the counterweight
when using the attachment.
•
Keep the traction unit away from the edge being
broken.
•
Do not break material directly under the front of
the traction unit.
•
Within the breaker is a chamber containing
pressurized nitrogen, which under the right
circumstances could explode. Do not disassemble
the body of the breaker.
•
Do not attempt to charge the cushion chamber
yourself. Contact your Authorized Service Dealer
for charging.
•
Ensure that the breaker is charged only with
nitrogen.
•
Do not ship the charged breaker via air freight.
Maintenance and Storage
Safety
•
Check fasteners at frequent intervals for proper
tightness to ensure that the equipment is in safe
operating condition.
•
Refer to this Operator's Manual for important
details if you store the attachment for an extended
period of time.
•
Maintain or replace safety and instruction labels,
as necessary.
