AVOID ACCIDENTS
Most accidents, whether they occur in industry, on the
farm, at home or on the road, are caused by the fail-
ure of some individuals to follow simple and funda-
mental safety rules and precautions. For this reason
MOST ACCIDENTS CAN BE PREVENTED by recog-
nising the real cause and doing something aboiut it
before the accident occurs.
Regardless of the care used in the design and con-
struction of any type of equipment, there are many
conditions that cannot be completely safeguarded
against without interfering in the reasonable accessi-
bility and efficient operation.
A carefull operator is the best insurance against an
accident. The complete observance of one simple
rule would prevent many serious accidents.
The rule is simple: never attempt to clean, lubricate or
maintain a machine while it is in motion.
WARNING
Prior to engaging in any maintenance, adjustment
or repair operation on machines having hydrauli-
cally, mechanically, and/or cable controlled equip-
ment (such as shovels, loaders, dozers, excavators
etc.) be certain the equipment is lowered to the
ground.
If it is necessary to have the equipment partially or
fully raised to gain access to certain items, be sure
the equipment is suitably supported by means
other than the devices used for controlling the
equipment.
