C. CAUTIONS & WARNINGS
When operating this machine users must be aware of other risks associated with the
work for which the machine is intended.
D. PULLING ROPE FAILURE
Obviously this will cause uncontrolled movement of the entire machine. Both this and
the danger then presented by the pulling rope and/or conductor can cause serious
injury or death.
To reduce operator exposure to these dangers owners must:
▪ Regularly check the rope and replace it as soon as defects or signs of wear are
detected.
▪ Assume only the recommended operation positions indicated in this manual.
E. ROTATING COMPONENT, PINCH-POINT HAZARDS
Due to the nature of the work being preformed and important system functionality, it is
possible to fully guard all rotating components. To minimize risks operators must:
▪ Avoid any contact with the machine’s rotating components.
▪ Follow the anchoring instructions described in this manual.
▪ Follow all recommendations in this manual regarding the use of personal safety
equipment.
F. CRUSHING INJURY WHEN LOADING OR UNDLOADING ROPE OR
CONDUCTOR REELS
Operators must know the proper methods for executing these tasks and should be
trained to do them properly.
G. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGES
To reduce the risk presented by static electric charge build up in the ropes and conduc-
tors during pulling operations, the machine must be properly grounded. To minimize
these risks operators must:
▪ Be trained in, and apply, the proper methods used to ground the machine
before using the machine.
H. INHALATION ENGINE EXHAUSTING GAS
To minimize these risks operators must:
▪ Assume the proper operating position during operation and use appropriate
safety equipment as needed.
