Bonjour à tous,
pour répondre à Delphine, il s'agit d'un convoyeur tunnel utilisé dans les mines par exemple. Il est doté d'un tapis roulant permettant d'acheminer les débris en dehors du site.

Thank you @Tony M Thank you for the explanation Tony! It makes more sense to me but still it seems really odd indeed.
Tony M Oct 22, 2020:
@ Éva I don't think so, here.
It sounds as if it might possibly be referring to the safety feature that the machine cannot be started (or will stop) if there is no driver in the seat — like a ride-on lawnmower, for example.
However, it is used rather oddly here, which might imply some other meaning; I can only think of 'to ride on' in the sense of 'to keep going (when you think you have stopped)' — but that doens't really make a great deal more sense to me here either...
Éva MYGARDON Oct 22, 2020:
Bonjour, c'est comme si cela voulait dire que 'l'unité' (selon contexte) est à l'arrêt/sans mouvement quand celle-ci est en position de conduite ?

Bonjour Marilyn, de quel mode de transport s'agit-il? de trains?

monter sur

ne pas monter sur le tapis en position de démarrage. c'est pour cela que l'alarme est déclenché avant le démarrage.
