Test
Note: Since this machine is no longer in production, the following additional requirements
cannot be integrated by the manufacturer. However the manufacturer has incorporated the
requirements and recommendations into the design of the follow-up series of the machine
Remaining requirements:
The values for axle loads, permitted total weight as well as maximum permitted axle loads during operation
contained in the TÜV report must be aligned with the measured values.
The machine must be provided with a hose list to enable professional hydraulic service engineers to construct
the necessary hoses for the machine.
The metal grid, which forms the maintenance platform, becomes soiled with wood chippings and soil during
operation. This grid is difficult to clean.
There is no suitable ladder and handgrips or a non-slip platform provided for changing the lamps of the cab roof
lighting array.
All areas where hydraulic hoses chafe along the boom and jib of the crane and the decentralised articulated joint
should be removed.
Machine nominal power should be given in kW.
The risk of losing the grub screw of the steering lever must be removed.
The lower front and lower middle maintenance covers have no hinges. The opening width is unrestricted.
Opening the covers can be very dangerous. The covers must be designed according to current applicable safety
requirements.
Instructions for driving on frozen bodies of water must be removed from the operating manual – alternatively it
should contain a warning prohibiting the operation of the vehicle on frozen bodies of water.
All entries not translated into German must be corrected.
The instructions concerning the response to touching electrical power lines do not correspond to current accident
prevention guidelines of the agricultural workers association (VSG 1.4, § 4) among others.
The operating manual must include values for noise levels, whole-body and hand-arm vibration.
