could cause the ground to cave-in.
A
Never operate in areas where there is a possibility of
falling rock.
A
Never attempt to operate or drive the machine on
unstable surfaces such as cliffs, shoulder of roads,
deep trenches, etc. The machine could lose stability
from unstable ground or vibration underneath, causing
it to rollover or fall.
(1) Ground surfaces are especially unstable after
heavy rain or explosions.
(2) Embankments and trenches may cause instability
of the ground around the area.
26.Always operate the machine at a safe, low speed,
especially in congested or closed in areas where there
is a danger of hitting or running into something. Pay
close attention to obstructions
27.Pay particular attention when passing through tunnels
or moving the machine near high walls to avoid hitting
it and causing accident or injury.
Always check height and width dimensions of the
machine against tunnels or any other narrow spaces
through which the machine is to be moved in order to
avoid accident or injury from hitting an obstruction.
28.The machine is NOT designed for operation with
hanging loads and has no safety features for such
circumstances. Never operate in conjunction with a
crane or other such device, which could cause serious
injury.
C Safety for children
Tragedy can occur if the operator is not alert to the
presence of children. Children generally are attracted to
machines and the work they do.
1. Never assume that children will remain where you last
saw them.
2. Keep children out of the work area and under the
watchful eye of another responsible adult.
3. Be alert and shut your machine down if children enter
the work area.
4. Never carry children on your machine. There is not a
safe place for them to ride. They may fall off and be run
over or interfere with your control of the machine.
5. Never allow children to operate the machine even
under adult supervision.
6. Never allow children to play on the machine or on the
attachments.
7. Use extra caution when backing up. Look behind and
down to make sure the area is clear before moving.
