Wheel Excavator Safety

UNAUTHORIZED 
MODIFICATIONS

Any modification made without authorization or written approval
from 

DOOSAN

 can create a safety hazard, for which the

machine owner will be held responsible.

For safety's sake, replace all OEM parts with the correct
authorized or genuine 

DOOSAN

 part. For example, not taking

the time to replace fasteners, bolts or nuts with the correct
replacement parts could lead to a condition where the safety of
critical assemblies are dangerously compromised.

GENERAL HAZARD 
INFORMATION

Safety Rules

Only trained and authorized personnel can operate and maintain
the machine.

Follow all safety rules, precautions and instructions when
operating or performing maintenance on the machine.

Do not operate the machine if you are not feeling well, if you are
taking medication that makes you feel sleepy, if you have been
drinking, or if you are suffering from emotional problems. These
problems will interfere with your sense of judgment in
emergencies and may cause accidents.

When working with another operator or with a person on work
site traffic duty, be sure that all personnel know the nature of the
work and understand all hand signals that are to be used.

Always observe strictly any other rules related to safety.

Safety Features

Be sure that all guards and covers are installed in their proper
position. Have guards and covers repaired immediately if
damaged.

Be sure that you understand the method of use of safety
features such as safety lock lever and the seat belt, and use
them properly.

Never remove any safety features. Always keep them in good
operating condition.

Failure to use safety features according to the instructions in the
Operation and Maintenance Manual could result in serious
bodily injury.
