SAFETY

S-9

PROVIDE SIGNALS FOR JOBS INVOLVING
MULTIPLE NUMBERS OF MACHINES

•

In case more than one machine is operated in the same
job site, accidental collision between machines may
cause serious injury or death.

•

For jobs involving multiple numbers of machines, provide
signals commonly known by all personnel involved. Also,
appoint a signal person to coordinate the job site. Make
sure that all personnel obey the signal person’s direc-
tions.

SA-481

CONFIRM DIRECTION OF MACHINE TO BE
DRIVEN

•

Incorrect travel pedal/lever operation may result in seri-
ous injury death.

•

Before driving the machine, confirm the position of the
undercarriage in relation to the operator’s position.

•

If the travel motors are located towards the front of the
cab, the machine will move in the reverse direction
when travel pedals/levers are operated.
