persons should be present at all times. NEVER WORK ALONE.
2. Prepare yourself. Wear a hard hat, safety goggles, hearing protection and other
protective equipment as required by job conditions. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery that can catch on controls or moving parts. Long hair must be tied back.
3. Prepare the machine. Move the machine onto a level surface and apply parking
brakes and/or wheel chocks. Shut off the engine and remove the key. Relieve all
hydraulic pressure by returning controls to neutral. Secure all hydraulically operated
attachments with pins provided.

away if access doors are open.
8. When working beneath raised equipment, always use blocks, jack-stands or other
rigid and stable supports. Never work under unsupported equipment.

harness. Always use walkways and platforms provided or a safe secure platform
approved by the machine operators management. Do not use any unauthorised or
unsafe platforms.
