Never swing over personnel
Be sure that no personnel are working around the
machine before swinging.
Pay attention to invisible workers in a trench or pit in
particular. Follow the signal person's direction not to
swing over such workers.
Never leave load suspended in the air
Never leave the load suspended in mid air, when the
machine is out of service, or you have to leave the
machine. Always put down the bucket of load onto the
ground. Should a malfunction occur, it could fall, striking
equipment or personnel.
Do not swing above the truck cab
If you swing the bucket above the truck cab, the driver
may be injured by dropped soil and sand or the bucket
contacting the truck cab.
Do not swing the bucket above the truck cab when
loading soil and sand.
Provide adequate tailswing clearance
Confirm that there is a sufficient clearance around the
machine for swinging operation.
The operator tends to be unconscious of the area behind
the machine. Before tailswing, make sure that there are
no personnel or objects in such area.
Always observe the bucket and load
Always watch the moving bucket or load carefully. Moving
bucket or load without care may cause injury to personnel
or materials.
If you have to look away from it, stop the machine.
