Examination, Re-Training And Application; Operational Safety Rules And Practices; Operator Responsibility - Kärcher B 110 R Manual De Instrucciones

● The practical training is to be carried out under the su-
pervision of the trainer.
● The practical training should include the actual opera-
tion or the simulated execution of all tasks in the com-
pany, such as maneuvering, driving, stopping, starting
and other activities under the conditions encountered
when operating the powered floor cleaner.
EXAMINATION, RE-TRAINING AND
APPLICATION
1 During the training, the employer must provide both per-
formance tests and oral and / or written tests to measure
the operator's skills and knowledge in meeting the re-
quirements of the standard. Employers can delegate
such tests to others, but remain responsible for the
tests. Corresponding records are to be kept.
2 Operators are to be retrained when new equipment is in-
troduced, existing equipment is upgraded, operating
conditions change, or an operator's performance is un-
satisfactory.
3 The user is responsible for ensuring the safe use of the
powered floor cleaner in accordance with the provisions
of this standard.
Note
Operator training information is available from sources
such as powered floor cleaner manufacturers, government
agencies dealing with employee safety, industrial trucking
trade associations, public and private organizations, and
safety advisers.
OPERATIONAL SAFETY RULES AND
PRACTICES

Operator responsibility

Safe operation is the responsibility of the operator.
The operator must develop safe work habits and be aware
of dangerous conditions in order to protect himself, other
personnel, the powered floor cleaner and other material.
The operator must familiarize himself with the operation
and function of all control elements and instruments before
agreeing to operate the device.
Before operating the device, operators must read and be
familiar with the operating instructions for each device and
observe the safety rules and practices in the following
paragraphs.
Before operating any equipment, the operator must be fa-
miliar with unusual operating conditions that may require
additional safety precautions or special operating instruc-
tions.
Before initial startup the powered floor cleaner:
1 Be in the operating position.
2 Set the direction controller to the neutral position.
3 Apply the brake.
4 Set the switch to the "ON" position.
Do not start the device or operate the device, its functions
or attachments from a location other than the specified op-
erator position.
Keep hands and feet within the designated area for the op-
erator or in the equipment compartment.
Understand the limitations of the device and operate the
device safely so as not to cause injury to personnel. Pro-
tect pedestrians at all times.

General
1 Do not drive a powered floor cleaner towards people
standing in front of an object.
2 Before turning maneuvers, ensure that personnel stay
away from the rear swivel range.
3 Particular caution is required at front aisles, doors and
other places where pedestrians can step into the path of
the powered floor cleaner.
Do not allow passengers to drive with powered floor clean-
ers unless the manufacturer has provided a safe place to
drive.
A powered floor cleaner is supervised when the operator is
in sight, less than 25 ft (7.6 m) from the device.
A powered floor cleaner will not be supervised if the oper-
ator is in sight more than 25 ft (7.6 m) from the device or
whenever the operator leaves the device and it is not in
sight.
Before leaving the driver's position:
1 Bring the device to a standstill.
2 Set the direction controller to the neutral position.
3 Apply the parking brake.
4 Stop the engine or switch off the controls.
5 If the machine has to be parked on an incline, lock the
wheels.
Maintain a safe distance from the edge of ramps, platforms
and similar work areas.
When powered floor cleaners are being driven on or off
long distance trucks or trailers, apply the brakes on the
truck or trailers and use wheel chocks or other safe me-
chanical means to prevent unintentional movement of the
truck or trailer.
Whenever powered floor cleaners are driven on and off
semi-trailers that are not coupled to a tractor, supports may
be required to prevent corners from tipping or diving.
Care must be taken that overhead installations such as
lights, cables, pipes, sprinkler systems, etc. are not
touched.
Report all accidents involving personnel, building struc-
tures and equipment to the supervisor or as instructed.
Do not make any additions or modifications to the device.
Do not block access to escape routes, stairs or fire extin-
guishers.
Observe all traffic regulations including the permitted
speed limits. Drive on the right under normal traffic condi-
tions. Maintain a safe distance based on the travel speed
of the vehicle in front and keep the device under control at
all times.
Give the right of way to pedestrians and emergency vehi-
cles such as ambulances and fire engines.
Do not overtake another truck at intersections, blind spots
or other dangerous places.
At the intersections of aisles and other places where visi-
bility is impaired, reduce the travel speed and sound the
acoustic warning device.
If possible, cross the railroad tracks at an angle. Park no
closer than 6 ft (1800 mm) to the nearest rail of a railway
line.
Travel up and down gradients slowly and with caution. If
possible, avoid turning and be extremely careful on gradi-
ents, ramps or slopes; normally travel straight up and down
the gradient.
Maintain a clear view of the route and pay attention to other
traffic, personnel and safety distances.
