SECTION 3 SAFETY SUMMARY
Safety Information
Safety is Everyone’s Responsibility
Whether you are new on the job or a seasoned veteran,
these safety tips may prevent injury to you, to others, or
to the materials you are handling. Always be alert, watch
out for others, and follow these suggestions:
Attachments handle material, not people.
Safety starts with common sense, good
judgement, properly maintained equipment,
careful operation, and properly trained
operators.
The safety instructions and warnings, as documented
in this manual and shipped with the machine, provide
the most reliable procedures for the safe operation and
maintenance of your Long Reach attachment. It’s your
responsibility to see that they are carried out.

Know your company’s safety rules. Some companies
have site-specific directions and procedures. The meth-
ods outlined in your operator's manual provide a basis for

tions, your company’s material handling procedures may
be somewhat different from those shown in this manual.
