ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people. Remove all objects which
do not belong in or on the machine and its equip-
ment.

Walk around the machine and warn all personnel
who may be servicing the machine or are in the
machine’s path prior to starting. DO NOT start
until all personnel are away from the machine.

ALWAYS use the recommended hand holds and
steps with at least three points of support when get-
ting on and off the machine. Keep steps and plat-
form clean. Face the access system when climbing
up and down.

NEVER attempt to by-pass the keyswitch to start
the engine. ONLY use the jump-starting procedure
detailed in the SERVICE & STORAGE chapter.
DO NOT bypass the machine’s neutral-start sys-
tem. The neutral-start system must be repaired if it
malfunctions.

NEVER use your hands to search for hydraulic
fluid leaks. Use a piece of paper or cardboard.
Escaping fluid under pressure can be invisible and
can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. If any
fluid is injected into your skin, see a doctor at
once. Injected fluid MUST be surgically removed
by a doctor familiar with this type of injury or gan-
grene may result.

DO NOT exceed the machine’s rated operating
capacity for the type of attachment tool being used.

DO NOT allow minors or unqualified personnel to
operate or be near the machine unless properly
supervised; this is strictly a single seat, NO pas-
senger machine!

DO NOT start the engine or operate any controls
unless properly seated in the operator’s seat!

DO NOT run the engine in an enclosed area with-
out providing proper ventilation for the exhaust.
Exhaust gases contain carbon monoxide, an odor-
less and deadly gas. Internal combustion engines
deplete the oxygen supply within enclosed spaces
and may create a serious hazard unless the oxygen
is replaced. This includes the atmosphere within
the cab when provided.

DO NOT leave the operator’s station with the
boom and attachment tool raised. ALWAYS lower
the boom and attachment tool to the ground, shut
off the engine and engage the parking brake
BEFORE leaving the operator’s station.

DO NOT refill the fuel tank when the engine is
hot. Allow engine to cool down BEFORE refilling
to prevent hot engine from igniting the fuel if it
should spill or splash.

DO NOT smoke while filling the fuel tank, while
working on the fuel or hydraulic systems, or while
working around the battery.

DO NOT drive too close to an excavation or ditch.
BE SURE that the surrounding ground has ade-
quate strength to support the weight of the machine
and the load it is carrying.

DO NOT turn quickly while traveling on a slope or
operate the machine beyond the grade and slope
limits noted in the OPERATION & ADJUST-
MENT chapter of the Operator’s Manual.

If necessary to park on a grade, park across the
slope and block the wheels.

DO NOT fill the fuel tank to capacity. Allow room
for expansion. Maintain control of the fuel filler
nozzle when filling the tank. Use the correct fuel
grade for the operating season.

NEVER use fuel for cleaning purposes.
