0 Introduction
This European Standard is a Type C-standard in
the structure of A-/B-/C-standards as defined in
EN 292-1:1991.
The machinery concerned and the extent to which
hazards are covered is indicated in the scope of this
standard.
1 Scope
This standard specifies additional requirements
and/or exceptions from EN 474-1:1994
Earth-moving machinery Safety
Part 1: General requirements.
This standard applies to wheel and crawler
tractor-dozers defined in ISO/DIS 6165:1994, and
gives additional requirements for attachments and
for derivated machinery.
This standard deals with the significant hazards
pertinent to tractor-dozers when they are used as
intended and under the conditions foreseen by the
manufacturer (see Annex A of this standard and
Annex C of EN 474-1:1994).
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or
undated references, provisions from other
publications. These nonnative references are cited
at the appropriate places in the text and the
publications are listed hereafter. For dated
references, subsequent amendments to or revisions
of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by
amendment or revision. For undated references the
latest edition of the publication referred to applies.

3 Definitions
For the purposes of this standard the definitions
stated in ENV 1070:1993 apply.
Additional definitions specifically needed for this
standard are added below:
3.1 Common definitions
Terminology and commercial specifications for
tractor-dozers are specified in ISO 6747:1988 and
illustrated in Annex B of this standard.
Definitions used in EN and ISO standards referred
to in this standard are also valid for this standard.
3.2.2
attachment
removable device (working tool) mounted either
directly to the linkage or on an attachment bracket
to fulfil the primary function of the machine or for a
specific use
Example: winch, blade, ripper.
4 Safety requirements
4.1 Access to crawler machines
EN 474-1:1994, clause 4.1 applies with the following
exceptions. An access step integrated in the track
frame can be retracted up to 30 mm from the outer
edge of the track shoe.
4.2.2.1 Visibility
4.2.2.2 Protection
Provision shall be made to allow for protection when
a rear-mounted winch or similar attachment is
fitted.
BSI 07-1999
EN 472-2:1996
BSI 07-1999
4.4.1.1.3 Controls
The control box shall have clearly marked directions
of movements for the machine and its attachment
and be safeguarded against unintentional actuation
e.g. pushbuttons with protective collars. It shall be
possible to lock the controls in the deactivated mode
against unintentional or unauthorized actuation.
4.4.1.2 Selecting switch
A selecting switch shall be located at the operators
station for selecting main or remote controlled
mode.
4.4.1.3 Warning devices
When activated, a visual warning shall indicate to
the bystanders that the machine is remote
controlled and it shall be possible to operate the
audible warning device of the machine from the
control box.
4.4.1.4 Travelling
The machine travelling speed shall not
exceed 10 km/h. When travelling, the attachment,
steering and brake systems shall be remote
controlled.
4.4.1.5 Instructions
The instruction handbook for remote controlled
machines shall contain information about the safe
distance from which the operator can control the
machine with the control box.
NOTE This standard does not prescribe technical design
requirements for remote control systems.

4.8 Winch
If a tractor-dozer is equipped with a towing winch,
ISO 4254-4:1990 shall be used as a design guideline.
4.8.1 Mounting
The means for securing a winch to the machine
structure shall be designed to withstand a force of
twice the maximum line-pull that can be exerted by
the rope.
4.8.2 Controls
The winch controls shall be located at the operators
station and shall fulfil the requirements stated in
ISO/DIS 10968:1993.
