Environment and Circumstances
Work Site Areas Requiring Extra Caution
•
Do not operate too close to edge of a quay, ramp, etc.
•
Do not operate too close to edge of a steep slope or
drop-off. Take care when working in a place where
machine may tip over.
•
Do not operate on soft ground or near riverbanks that could
collapse or where ground may not support weight of
excavator.
•
Observe changes in ground and traction conditions after a
rain or other changes in weather.
Digging Under an Overhang
Do not dig work face under an overhang. This can cause
overhang to collapse and fall on top of the machine.
•
Do not perform overhead demolition work. This can cause
broken objects and debris to fall on top of machine causing
death or serious injury, or property damage.
Deep Digging
Do not perform deep digging under front of machine. The ground
under machine may collapse and cause machine to fall resulting
in death or serious injury.
Working heavy loads on loose, soft or uneven ground, can cause
side load conditions resulting in a tip over and injury. Traveling
without a load or a balanced load may also be hazardous.
Never rely on lift jacks or other inadequate supports when work
is being done. Block tracks fore and aft to prevent any
movement.
Use machine only for its intended purpose. Using it for other
purposes will cause failures.
•
Do not perform demolition work under machine. There is a
hazard that the machine may become unstable and tip
over.
•
When working on or from top of buildings or other
structures, check if structure can support weight of
machine and attachment. If a building structure collapses,
this can cause death or serious injury.
