SECTION 2 –
SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
•
Check overhead clearance before driving
under any overhead obstructions. Con-
tact with power lines may result in seri-
ous injury or death.
•
Booms must be folded and in cradles
when driving the machine on a roadway
or when near power lines.
Keep Riders Off Machine
•
Do not permit passengers to ride on the
machine or in the cab. The only time pas-
sengers should be permitted is for
instructional or diagnostic purposes only.
The passenger should be seated in the
Instructor Seat next to the operator and
never allowed to ride outside of the cab.
Remove Paint Before Welding or
Heating
•
Avoid toxic fumes and dust. Hazardous
fumes can be generated when paint is
heated by welding, soldering, or using a
torch.
•
Do not use chlorinated solvents in areas
where welding will take place.
•
Do all work in an area that is well venti-
lated to carry toxic fumes and dust away.
•
Dispose of paint and solvents properly.
Avoid Heating Near Pressurized
Lines
•
Avoid torching, welding, and soldering
near pressurized hydraulic lines. Pressur-
ized lines may accidentally burst when
heat goes beyond the immediate flame
area.
Handle Fuel Safely
•
Always turn engine off and allow it to
cool before refueling.
•
NEVER smoke while refueling.
•
Do not fill tank completely, as fuel may
expand and run over.
•
Always clean up spilled fuel with soapy
water.
•
Keep a fire extinguisher nearby when
refueling.
