2) Safety instructions

Please note that:
Fitting, maintenance and servicing of the under-run bar must comply with regulation R58-03 and the installation
-
instructions supplied with products. These operations must be performed by qualified and accredited personnel. The
standard practices of each specialised trade (mechanics, hydraulics, electricity and pneumatics) must be respected.
The assembly, as original equipment or as a replacement, and installation of the hydraulic under-run bar kit must comply
-
with the provisions of the Machinery Directive 2006/42 of 17th May 2006 and the relevant instructions for each under-
run bar.
• Before performing any work on the vehicle, disconnect the battery and reduce the pressure in the hydraulic
and pneumatic circuits.
• For all handling, installation and maintenance operations, wear the personal protective equipment (gloves,
safety glasses, safety boots, etc.) defined in accordance with requirements and specified in the safety data
sheets (hydraulic oil, for example).
• During fitting, testing and operation, ensure a safety perimeter has been established around the zone in which
the bar is deployed.
• All welds must comply with the specifications of guide 2905926FT (available on our website).
• Hydraulic controls should be installed in such a way that bar movements can be seen by the operator. If the controls
are installed in the cab, measures must be defined to allow the operator to see the zone in which the under-run
bar is deployed from the cab. If the controls are installed on the rear of the vehicle, the controls should be installed
in such a way that bar movements can be seen by the operator and avoid any risk to the operator. The operator
must be able to ensure that there are no people in the danger areas. If this visible check is not possible, the control
system must be designed and constructed so that any start-up is preceded by an audible and/or visual warning
signal.
• Hydraulic controls must be used for the under-run bar only: these components are designed and intended to
control the under-run bar only.
• Electric cables and hydraulic hoses must be adequately protected, to prevent any risk of damage when using
the under-run bar.
• When performing any work, check the equipotential bonding of connections.
• Do not re-tighten connections under pressure.
• Avoid any contact with hydraulic oil during these operations (during draining, collect this oil).
• For all installation/re-installation operations, refer to the installation instructions supplied with the product.
• During post-maintenance testing, the operator must ensure that there are no personnel in the area in which bar
movements occur.
