Dangers from lifting equipment

The following dangers can result from the lifting equipment:
Retrofitting
The machine may only be retrofitted with authorised lifting
equipment. If in doubt, related questions can be addressed to
SANY. If the machine is equipped with a quick-change unit, the
lifting equipment may be exchanged by the operator. To avoid
injuries and damage to the machine, the operating instructions
for the lifting equipment and the operating instructions for the
machine must be observed.
Combining lifting equipment

When combining lifting equipment, the excavator may behave in
an unusual manner. For example, combined lifting equipment
may be able swing out further and thus reach the cabin. Serious
injuries or damage to the machine can result from this. When
combining lifting equipment, work must be conducted cautiously
until the operator becomes familiar with the modified behaviour
of the excavator.

dB(A).
The personal protective equipment includes different compo-
nents depending of the respective activities.
▪ Safety helmet: The safety helmet reduces the risk and
severity of head injury. A safety helmet must be worn during
machine operation, maintenance and repair work.
▪ Protective clothing: Protective clothing protects the
body from injury, or reduces the severity of injuries sustained
as a result of contact with fire, heat, cold and corrosive sub-
stances. A protective suit must be worn during machine ope-
ration, maintenance and repair work.
▪ Safety shoes: Safety shoes protect feet from injury or limit
the severity of injuries resulting from:
– Colliding with hard objects.
– Walking on sharp parts.
– Falling of heavy objects.
Safety footwear must be worn during machine operation,
maintenance and repair work.
▪ Ear protectors: Ear protectors protect the ears against
exposure to noise. Wearing ear protectors is recommended
Safety systems and protective devices Safety

Safety systems and protective devices

Careful operation is the most import factor in avoiding accidents.
To assist the operator, the machine is equipped with various
safety systems and protective devices . These help to prevent
accidents. Some of these devices actively support the operator.
Others are only used when an emergency occurs. The functions
are explained in the corresponding sections for the machine
description.

Supposed errors
The irregularities described below are not faults but intentional

deviations:
▪ The speed of travel of the excavator arm may suddenly fall if
the excavator arm is retracted and the work equipment is al-
so lowered when under no load and the excavator is in a vir-
tually vertical position.
▪ The speed of travel of the bucket may suddenly fall if the
bucket teeth are positioned almost parallel to the ground.
▪ The brake valve produces noise when the swivelling opera-
tion is started or stopped.
▪ The drive sprocket produces noise when the machine travels
downwards at low speed.

Carrying out measures to eliminate

errors
Do not disassemble the components too hurriedly.
If the components are disassembled immediately after the error
occurred, the following happens:
▪ Parts not connected to the error or other parts are needless-
ly disassembled.
▪ It is not possible to fine the cause of error.
For this reason, when carrying out measures to eliminate error,
care must be taken to conduct a comprehensive investigation
beforehand and to carry out the measures according to the
defined procedures.
Even if the error is eliminated, the same error can reoccur. To
avoid this, investigate and eliminate the cause of the error.

Assembly instructions Emergency stop

The assembly instructions help to assemble the machine
before operation. They specify all work steps required to in-
stall the machine as intended by the manufacturer.
Directions
In the case of a dangerous situation, it immediately places
the machine in a safe condition. After actuating the
emergency stop, the switch must be unlocked again and
the safe condition of the machine must be confirmed by
pressing a button.
Load-holding valves
Load-holding valves prevent the load from falling if there is
an unexpected drop in the pressure of the hydraulic sys-
tem.
Loading information
