SAFETY
Additional Safety Reminders
Ü
User/operator safety practices, as established by
industry standards, are included in this Operator’s
Manual and intended to promote safe operation of
the machine. These guidelines do not preclude the
use of good judgment, care and common sense as
may be indicated by the particular jobsite work
conditions.
Ü
It is essential that operators be physically and men-
tally fit, free of mind-altering drugs and chemicals,
and thoroughly trained in the safe operation of the
machine. Such training should be presented com-
pletely to all new operators and not condensed for
those claiming previous experience. Information
on operator training is available from several
sources, including the manufacturer.
Ü
Some illustrations used in this manual may show
doors, guards and shields open or removed for
illustration purposes ONLY. BE SURE that all
doors, guards and shields are in their proper oper-
ating positions before starting the engine.
Before Operation Safety Reminders
Ü
Check brakes, steering, and hydraulic system prior
to starting operation. Operate all controls to ensure
proper operation. Observe all gauges and indica-
tors for proper operation. If any malfunctions are
found, correct the cause prior to using the machine.
Ü
ALWAYS wear appropriate personal protective
equipment for the job and working conditions.
Hard hats, goggles, protective shoes, gloves,
reflector-type vests, respirators and ear protection
are exampes of types of equipment that may be
required. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing,
long hair, jewelry or loose personal items while
operating or servicing the machine.
Ü
ALWAYS check the job site for terrain hazards,
obstructions and people. Remove all objects that
do not belong in or on the machine and its equip-
ment.
WARNING
U.S. OSHA regulations require employers in
general industry and the construction, ship-
yard and cargo-handling industries (excepting
agricultural operations) to ensure that forklift
operators are competent, as demonstrated by
successful completion of a training course.
The training course must consist of a combi-
nation of formal instruction and practical
training, including both forklift-related and
workplace-related topics, and evaluation of
the operator’s performance in the workplace.
All operator training and evaluation is to be
conducted by persons who have the know-
ledge, training and experience to train and
evaluate operators.
WARNING
ALWAYS maintain a safe distance from elec-
tric power lines and avoid contact with any
electrically charged conductor or gas line. It is
not necessary to make direct contact with a
power line for power to ground through the
structure of the machine. Keep the boom at
least 10 ft. (3 m) from all power lines.
Accidental contact or rupture can result in
electrocution or an explosion. Contact the
North American One-Call Referral System at
(888) 258-0808 for the local “Digger’s Hotline”
number or proper local authorities for utility
line locations before starting to dig!
