Specifications Whole-body vibration can be reduced with the following guidelines:
☞ Use a machine and equipment of correct type and size. ☞ Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for machine maintenance. • This concerns: • Tyre pressure • Brake and steering systems • Control elements, hydraulic system and linkage ☞ Keep the work area in good condition ☞ Remove large rocks or obstacles. ☞ Fill up ditches and holes. ☞ Provide a machine and enough time to keep the work area in good condition. ☞ Use a seat according to the ISO 7096 requirements. ☞ Keep the seat in good condition and adjust it correctly. ➥ Adjust the seat and suspension to the user’s weight and size.
➥ Check and maintain the seat adjustment and suspension. • Perform the following activities smoothly without any jerks. • Steering • Braking • Acceleration • Shifting gears • Move attachments without any jerks. • Adapt your speed and the itinerary to minimize vibration ☞ Drive around obstacles and uneven ground. ☞ Reduce your speed when driving across rough terrain. • Reduce vibration to a minimum during long work cycles or when driving over long distances: • Use a machine with a suspension system. • Enable the hydraulic oscillation damping if a hydraulic machine is equipped with tracks. • If the machine is not equipped with hydraulic oscillation damping, reduce your speed to avoid bumps and jolts. • Load the machine on a truck or trailer to move between work sites. • Other risk factors can affect drive comfort negatively. • The following measures can improve drive comfort ➥ Adjust the seat and the control elements to a relaxed body posture.
➥ Adjust the rearview mirrors to ensure optimal visibility so you can adopt an upright seating position. ➥ Provide breaks to avoid sitting for long periods.
➥ Do not jump off the control stand. ➥ Picking up and raising loads repeatedly must be limited to a minimum.
