Safety regulations with respect to the equipment
•
Persons are not allowed under the load.
•
Always position the toe jack on a solid and flat base. On a base of soft material, the foot of the jack
may be pushed into the material, due to which the toe jack may slant or tilt if the lifting movement is
continued.
•
The lifting toe and the base must be parallel to each other.
•
Before lifting, place the lifting toe of the toe jack as closely as possible under the load to prevent the
lifting toe from breaking off.
•
The rated lifting load on the toe relates to the optimum placement of the load on the toe. If this is not
possible, the lifting load will be proportionally lower.
•
Always prop up the load during lifting.
•
The direction of lifting must always be in line with the main axis of the jack to prevent skew loads on
the lifting toe and any accessories.
•
Lifting a load with more than one toe jack may result in skew loading. Always lift the load parallel
and step-by-step.
•
Prevent sharp objects from touching the plunger. Damage can cause leaks along the sealing.
2.6
Safety regulations with respect to the operation of the system
•
Make a risk assessment of the procedure before you start work (EN-ISO 12100).
•
Keep bystanders at a distance and be extra careful in the vicinity of people and animals.
•
Make sure the work area is clearly laid out and has good lighting.
•
Avoid stress and work in a structured way. This reduces the risk of errors, combinations of dangers
and accidents.
•
Before use, check the equipment for damage. Do not use the equipment if it is not in good
condition, and consult your Holmatro dealer.
•
Stand on a stable base.
•
Hold the equipment only by its carrying handle. Never use any part of the hose as carrying handle.
•
During operation, never get between the object and the equipment.
•
Monitor the situation of the equipment and the structure continuously while using the equipment.
•
Parts of an object that can fall down due to lifting must be secured.
•
Never couple or uncouple couplers while the system is under pressure.
•
Use only genuine Holmatro accessories and ensure that they have been attached correctly.
•
Make sure that parts of the body never come between moving parts. There is a risk that parts of the
body may be crushed or cut.
•
Stop immediately if the system makes strange noises or displays aberrant behaviour.
•
Stop immediately if the equipment leaks oil. Oil escaping under pressure can penetrate the skin and
cause serious injury. Go immediately to a hospital with a person who is injected with oil for medical
help. Give a specification of the oil to the medical staff.
•
Do not lift unstable loads.
•
Take extra care when lowering a load.
•
Return inactive equipment immediately to the tool station.
•
Always adhere to the safety regulations that apply to other equipment that is used in the operation.
2.7
Safety regulations with respect to maintenance
•
Wear personal means of protection when performing maintenance tasks.
•
Never work in a way that could jeopardize safety.
•
Make sure that the equipment cannot roll away or tip over. The control and drive must be switched
off and safeguarded against unexpected activation.
