GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
PROTECT AGAINST FLYING DEBRIS
Always wear proper safety glasses, goggles or a face shield when driving pins in or
out, or when any operation causes dust, flying debris
or any other hazardous
material.
LOWER OR SUPPORT RAISED EQUIPMENT
Do not work under raised booms without supporting them. Do not use support
material made of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels, or any other material that
could suddenly collapse or shift positions. Make sure support material is solid, not
decayed, warped, twisted or tapered. Lower booms to ground level or on blocks.
Lower booms and attachments to the ground before leaving the cab or operator’s
station.
USE CARE WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID PRESSURE
Hydraulic fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin and cause serious injury or
death. Hydraulic leaks under pressure may not be visible. Before connecting or
disconnecting hydraulic hoses, read your prime mover’s operator’s manual for
detailed instructions on connecting and disconnecting hydraulic hoses or fittings.
•
Keep unprotected body parts, such as face, eyes, and arms as far away as
possible from a suspected leak. Flesh injected with hydraulic fluid may develop
gangrene or other permanent disabilities.
•
If injured by injected fluid, see a doctor at once. If your doctor is not familiar with
this type of injury, ask him to research it immediately to determine proper
treatment.
•
Wear safety glasses, protective clothing and use a piece of cardboard or wood
when searching for hydraulic leaks.
DO NOT USE YOUR HANDS! SEE
ILLUSTRATION.
