1-10 Safety
022-00028AE Operation and Maintenance Manual
UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS
Any modification made without authorization or written approval from Daewoo can create a safety hazard,
for which machine owner must be held responsible.
For safety’s sake, replace all OEM parts with correct authorized or genuine Daewoo part. For example, not
taking time to replace fasteners, bolts or nuts with correct replacement parts could lead to a condition in
which safety of critical assemblies is dangerously compromised.
WORK SITE PRECAUTIONS
ATTACHMENT PRECAUTIONS
Options kits are available through your dealer. Contact Daewoo for information on available one-way
(single-acting) and two-way (double-acting) piping / valving / auxiliary control kits. Because Daewoo cannot
anticipate, identify or test all attachments that owners may wish to install on their machines, please contact
Daewoo for authorization and approval of attachments, and their compatibility with options kits.
AVOID HIGH-VOLTAGE CABLES
Serious injury or death can result from contact
or proximity to high-voltage electric lines. The
bucket does not have to make physical contact
with power lines for current to be transmitted.
Use a spotter and hand signals to stay away
from power lines not clearly visible to operator.
Use these minimum distances as a guideline only. Depending upon voltage in line and atmospheric
conditions, strong current shocks can occur with boom or bucket as far away as 4 - 6 m (13 - 20 ft) from
power line. Very high voltage and rainy weather could further decrease that safety margin.
NOTE:
Before starting any type of operation near power lines (either above ground or buried
cable-type) you should always contact power utility directly and work out a safety plan with
them.
IMPORTANT
If you need more information or have any questions or concerns about safe operating
procedures or working wheel loader correctly in a particular application or in specific conditions
of your individual operating environment, please consult your local Daewoo representative.
